Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri couldn’t control his nerves in the Italian Cup final yesterday.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri vented his anger on the journalist for not being able to control his nerves in the final of the Italian Cup yesterday, especially despite his team winning the refereeing game.
Allegri saved face by lifting the Coppa Italia after losing the league title to Inter Milan with a 1-0 win over Atalanta.
But this crown will not be enough for Allegri to continue his life with Juventus, given the club’s desire to replace him with a new coach.
Allegri protested the referee’s decision too much, which led to his sending off, but continued his violent behavior before the final whistle as he appeared to have sent him off after rebelling against the club’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli.

Allegri then got out of control and threatened Guido Fasiago, the director of Italy’s Tuttosport newspaper, on his way to the press conference.
“The manager, write the truth in your newspaper, not what the club tells you,” Guido yelled at me.
He added, “He grabbed me, pushed me, and yelled at me, I’m going to find you and cut off both your ears and you’re going to find me waiting and I’m going to slap your dirty face.

Juventus Public Relations Director Gabriela Ravizzotti and an employee working in the Italian league were forced to intervene to remove Allegri and convince him to enter the press conference hall.
Allegri is suspended
Juventus coach Allegri has been banned for two matches after being sent off in the Coppa Italia final on Thursday.
The federation’s disciplinary committee upheld the decision, citing in particular his “aggressive behavior towards the fourth assistant referee” as well as his “disrespectful conduct towards the referees”.
After the 56-year-old coach was sent off with a red card in the fifth minute of the game, he approached the fourth official while clapping in front of the referee.
The penalty will be imposed on him in the next edition of the competition.
Local media have been saying for weeks that Allegri, whose contract runs until 2025, is on the verge of being sacked and that Bologna coach Thiago Motta is set to replace him.
Juventus have been on a 5-game losing streak in the league and lost the second leg of the cup semi-final 1-2 to Lazio in recent times. The first leg.
The “old” team, which confirmed its passage to the Champions League, is in fourth place with 67 points, ahead of third-placed Bologna, and will play the final match in the 37th round next Monday.
