Massimiliano Allegri will soon receive a new contract. The 48-year-old Italian, who took over the reins of Turin's "Juventus" in 2014, helped the club win their fifth consecutive "Serie A" champions title on Monday. Next week, M. Allegri will receive a new contract for this achievement, revealed the club's director Giuseppe Marotta. "Juventus" secured the title in advance without even kicking the ball. On Monday, they defeated "Napoli," who are in second place, with a score of 1:0 and allowed Turin to celebrate triumph. In Italy, there are three rounds left, but "Juventus" already has a twelve-point advantage. M. Allegri has certainly justified the hopes of the "Juventus" leaders, who chose this strategist in 2014 when Antonio Conte left for the Italian national team. Last season, M. Allegri led "Juventus" to the Champions League final but lost to the "Barcelona" club. This time the team did not pass the quarter-finals barrier but managed to upset Munich's "Bayern" fans. M. Allegri's current contract should expire in a year, but "Juventus" is already preparing a new offer. "Our relationship with the coach is excellent. We are very satisfied with him and his work, so we will extend the contract. We do not want to wait until the contract expires, so next week we will propose an extension," - said G. Marotta to "Premium Sport." The offer to M. Allegri is one of several important steps for "Juventus." G. Marotta does not hide the fact that the club is preparing to strengthen because they aim to win the Champions League title, which they last held in their hands in 1996. "We know it won't be easy, but the team's level is high. We don't have big problems in Italy, but the competition in Europe is much more serious. Our players are already of a very high level, so it is difficult to find stronger ones. We have many good young players, but let's not forget the solid core: Giorgio Chiellini, Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci. There is also Patrice Evra, Sami Khedira. We want to bring together young and experienced players," - said G. Marotta.
