Juventus fires coach Massimiliano Allegri for his outburst toward the refs in the Italian Cup final
TURIN, Italy (AP) — Juventus fired coach Massimiliano Allegri on Friday for his ugly outburst toward the referees in the Italian Cup final.
The move comes with only two games remaining in Serie A.
Allegri lost his cool in stoppage time when he grew angry at a decision, ripped off his jacket and earned a red card for sarcastically applauding the referee. Juventus beat Atalanta 1-0 on Wednesday.
Juventus said in a statement that Allegri’s behavior was not in line with its “values.”
“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,” the statement said.
Allegri was suspended for two Cup matches for his outburst and also fined 5,000 euros ($5,400) by the Serie A league judge. Allegri “acted aggressively” and used insulting language and gestures toward the referees, the judge reported.
