Max Allegri has been fired as the coach of Juventus for the second time, but he leaves with a remarkable number of records and 12 trophies.

The club released a statement today confirming his dismissal with immediate effect, so Under-19 tactician Paolo Montero is set to take over for the final two games of the Serie A season.

Allegri’s last action was to lift the Coppa Italia, beating Atalanta 1-0 in Wednesday’s Final at the Stadio Olimpico.

That was his 12th piece of silverware at the club over two spells, lasting from 2014-19 and 2021-24, which included five consecutive Serie A titles from 2014-15 to 2018-19.

Only Giovanni Trapattoni with six won more in a row at Juve.

Trap is also the only coach with more games on the Bianconeri bench, with 596 to Allegri’s 407, overtaking Massimiliano Lippi on 405.

Only Trapattoni had more victories for the Old Lady, 319 to 271.

Although his style of football did not always convince everyone, nobody can question Allegri’s results.

He oversaw 268 victories, 68 draws and 71 defeats in all competitions.

In terms of win percentage, Allegri is the most successful coach among those with at least 150 Serie A matches under their belt, victorious in 67% of his 202 Juve games.

His biggest regrets were losing the two Champions League Finals in 2015 to Barcelona and 2017 to Real Madrid.
