Allegri was sacked on Friday, two days after berating the referees while winning the Italian Cup final. U19 coach Pablo Montero agreed to oversee Juve’s last two games.
Bologna, third, and Juventus, fourth on goal difference, had already qualified for the Champions League next season but played like they hadn’t.
A double by Riccardo Calafiori at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium on Monday (Tuesday morning AEST) helped a dominant Bologna get 3-0 ahead, and in their grasp was a first home win over Juve in 26 years.
But Juventus began their comeback with 14 minutes left, starting with Federico Chiesa’s goal. Within eight more minutes, Arkadiusz Milik struck from a free kick and the equaliser came via Kenan Yildiz, the 19-year-old forward who Juve consider a star in the making.
In his breakthrough season, Yildiz debuted for Juventus and became their youngest foreign scorer. He also debuted and scored for European Championship-bound Turkey.
