Juve irked by Allegri antics but no axe yet

Published 6 months, 4 weeks ago

Juventus have been irked by the latest off-field antics of coach Massimiliano Allegri, but they do not plan to axe him before the end of the season, sources close to the club said Thursday.

The sources spoke after Juve’s under-19 coach Poalo Montero had been rumoured to take over with two games to go.

However, the Tuscan coach is certain to leave the club in post-season talks, they added.

A divorce is inevitable, the sources said, after Allegri railed against match and club officials in an extraordinary outburst in which he tore off his tie and stormed down the touchline near the end of Wednesday’s Italian Cup Final win over Atalanta.

Allegri then went on to have a furious argument with Tuttosport Editor-in-Chief Guido Vaciago in the tunnel after the match.
