Max Allegri becomes only the third coach that Juventus have fired mid-season in the last 50 years and there is a curious symmetry.
The club released a statement this afternoon blaming his behaviour during and after the Coppa Italia Final victory over Atalanta on Wednesday.
Under-19 boss Paulo Montero is set to take over for the final two games of the 2023-24 Serie A season.
Firing coaches mid-season is very unusual at Juventus, and this is only the third time it has happened in the last 50 years.
The others were Claudio Ranieri in 2008-09, making way for Ciro Ferrara, then Ferrara himself fired in 2009-10 to be replaced by Alberto Zaccheroni.
Juventus mid-season sackings
Unlike those coaches, Allegri had already achieved all the targets set for him this season, qualifying for the Champions League, the Club World Cup and winning the Coppa Italia.
Curiously, the last time Allegri was dismissed by Juve was also on May 17, that time in 2019.
He returned in the summer of 2021 and over the total eight seasons he won five Serie A titles, four editions of the Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana trophies.
