Juventus have confirmed the departure of manager Massimiliano Allegri with immediate effect.
Allegri was rumoured to be facing the sack even heading into Wednesday's Coppa Italia final, which was won by an early strike from Dusan Vlahovic, but the real headlines were made towards the end of the match when the Italian boss earned himself a red card for flinging his jacket to the ground and confronting the official.
Reports suggest Allegri then had an altercation with Juve sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and Tuttosport editor Guido Vaciago, sparking a chaotic end to what should have been a celebratory affair.
"The exoneration follows certain behaviours during and after the Coppa Italia final that the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus and the behaviour that those who represent it should have," a statement read.
"It ends a period of collaboration, which began in 2014, restarted in 2021 and ended, after the previous three seasons together, with the Italian Cup final."
"The club wishes Massimiliano Allegri good luck in his future endeavours."
