Juventus have sacked Massimiliano Allegri two days after he led the side to Coppa Italia victory.
The Turin side beat Atalanta 1-0 in Rome, but Allegri was sent off late on for ranting at match officials and waving away the sporting director during the celebrations.
The Italian Football Federation’s disciplinary tribunal has launched an investigation into Allegri.
On Friday, Juventus confirmed he was no longer their boss.
“The dismissal follows certain behaviours during and after the Italian Cup final that the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus and with the behaviour that those who represent it must adopt,” a statement read.
Juve’s 1-0 win over Atalanta, thanks to Dusan Vlahovic’s early goal, gave Allegri a record fifth Coppa Italia as a manager.
“If I am no longer the Juventus coach next year, I will leave a strong team,” he said in the post-match news conference. “The club will make its evaluations.”
Before his antics at the Stadio Olimpico, many had already predicted that Bologna coach Thiago Motta would replace the 56-year-old.
But now he will not be there for the final two Serie A games against Bologna and Monza.
“The company wishes Massimiliano Allegri good luck in his future projects,” the statement reads.
