Juventus sack Allegri two days after Italian Cup win

Allegri led Juventus to victory in the Italian Cup on Wednesday, but was sacked two days later.

The club has not yet announced a replacement for Allegri.

Juventus have sacked Massimiliano Allegri two days after he led the side to the Italian Cup. The club announced on Friday that Allegri's five-year spell in charge will come to an end.

Allegri, 52, returned to Juventus in 2021 after a two-year spell with Chelsea. He won the Serie A title in his first season back at the club, but Juventus finished fourth in the league this season and were knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16.

The club has not yet announced a replacement for Allegri, but former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is reportedly the favorite to take over.

Juventus' decision to sack Allegri is a surprise, given that he has won five major trophies during his time at the club. However, the team's poor form in recent months has led to growing pressure on Allegri, and the club's hierarchy has decided to make a change.

Allegri's sacking is a reminder that even the most successful managers can be sacked if their teams do not perform to expectations. It will be interesting to see who Juventus appoint as their new manager, and whether they can challenge for the Serie A title next season.
