Official: M. Allegri resigns from "Juventus" coaching position

Unexpected news has shocked the Italian media - Massimiliano Allegri is stepping down from his position as the coach of "Juventus" in Turin.

The Turin club announced in an official statement that M. Allegri will not be at the helm as coach for the next season. This Saturday, there will be a press conference with the strategist and the club president to further explain the motives.

M. Allegri had a contract with "Juventus" until 2020. The coach had recently talked about plans for the next season, but now he will have to prepare for them with a different team.

The main candidate to take over the coaching position at "Juventus" is the former coach Antonio Conte.

M. Allegri has been leading the "Juventus" team since 2014. He has won a total of 11 titles with the "old lady," including five "Serie A" trophies.

The Italian coach still has two final matches on the "Juventus" coaching seat - against "Atalanta" and "Sampdoria."
