Juventus have ended their relationship with Massimiliano Allegri after he was sacked on Friday despite winning the Coppa Italia.

On Friday, Juventus officially announced Allegri’s departure in a statement via their website.

“Juventus announces that it has relieved Massimiliano Allegri of his position as head coach of the men’s first team,” Juventus’ statement partly read.

“The club wishes Massimiliano Allegri good luck in his future endeavours.”

Allegri first became the Turin club’s coach in 2014 and led the team for five seasons, before returning in 2021 after taking two years away from management.

During his first spell, Juve won five consecutive Serie A titles and four Italian Cups.

They also finished as Champions League runners-up twice in 2014-15 and 2016-17.

Allegri’s second spell at the helm was less successful and was marred by a financial scandal in which Juventus were deducted 10 points near the end of the 2022-23 season in a case focused on their transfer dealings.

After qualifying for the third-tier Europa Conference League play-offs instead of their more familiar Champions League, Juve were later denied participation in any European competitions over breaches of UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play rules.
