On the evening of May 17, Beijing time, Juventus officially announced that coach Allegri officially stepped down, which was less than 48 hours after he led Juventus to win the Italian Cup.
Allegri "entered the palace for the second time" Juventus in the summer of 2021 and served as the coach of the Bianconeri again, compared with the two Champions League finals in the first coaching period and the Serie A championship for five consecutive years, Allegri's performance in the second charge has declined significantly. In the first season of his return, he only led the team to 4th place in the league, barely retaining his Champions League place, lost to Inter Milan in the final of the Italian Cup, and was deducted points last season, and finally could only finish 7th, missing the Champions League for the first time in 10 years.
This season, Juventus was originally the main contender for the league title of Inter, but in the 36 rounds of matches since the beginning of the 21st round in January, Juve only scored 15 points in 15 rounds of league games, watching Inter Milan win the Serie A championship in advance, and at the same time the ranking has also slipped from 2nd to 4th. In the past three years, Allegri has led the team to 80 wins, 34 draws and 35 defeats, with a winning rate of only 53.6%, which is not as good as Pirlo and Maurizio Sarri's 65.3%.
A little consolation is that in the Coppa Italia final, Juventus won the Coppa Italia 1-0 victory over Atalanta with the only goal of the game scored by Vlahovic, ending the three-year championship drought for Juventus, and becoming the first coach to win the Coppa Italia five times. However, it was after the Coppa Italia final that Allegri clashed with Torino Sport director Guido, and during the game insulted the referee, the fourth official and destroyed the equipment, which led Juventus to speed up the decision to sack Allegri.
Juventus had already made a choice for a new coach long before Allegri left, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Juve's first choice for the new manager is Thiago Motta. Juve have offered the Bologna boss a three-year contract until June 2027. The 41-year-old has played for Barcelona, Inter Milan and Grand Paris before taking charge of Bologna in September 2022 and has returned to the Champions League as a dark horse under his leadership this season.
