"Juventus" officially dismisses coach Delneri © EuroFootball.com

Turin officially fired head coach Luigi Delneri.

The specialist himself confirmed to journalists ten days ago that the club leaders decided to part ways with him, but until now the news was not confirmed.

"President Andrea Agnelli, board members and the team thank the coach for his hard work and wish him success in the future," the Juventus statement said.

In the Italian championship, the Turin team finished in just 7th place, despite expecting to break into the top four.

In the near future, Antonio Conte will take over the reins of Juventus, who led Siena to promotion to the Serie A championship.
