In a shocking turn of events, Serie A giants Juventus have sacked manager Massimiliano Allegri just two days after he led the team to victory in the Coppa Italia final! 🏆⚽
The Old Lady clinched their first major trophy in three years with a win over Atalanta, but celebrations were cut short as the club announced Allegri's departure. 😮
\"The firing follows certain behaviors during and after the Italian Cup final that the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus, and the behavior that those who represent it should have,\" Juventus said in a statement.
During stoppage time against Atalanta, Allegri lost his cool over a referee's call, ripping off his jacket and sarcastically applauding the official before being shown a red card. 🚫👔 His actions earned him a two-game suspension and a $5,400 fine.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has also opened an investigation into the incident involving Allegri and Tuttosport newspaper's director Guido Vaciago.
Football fans are buzzing with questions: What led to this dramatic decision? Who will step in as the new manager? Stay tuned for more updates! 📰🔥
