Several reports from Italy indicate that Juventus might terminate Massimiliano Allegri’s contract before the current season concludes, possibly even today. Allegri’s conduct during and after the recent Atalanta match has reportedly irked the club, compounded by their pre-existing intention to appoint a new coach at season’s end.

Allegri’s tenure at Juventus appears to be on thin ice, as both Sky Sport Italia and Fabrizio Romano corroborate the possibility of his premature departure. Football Italia disclosed earlier today that the coach’s verbal confrontations with club officials and a Tuttosport editor following the Rome game could expedite his dismissal.

Giovanni Guardalà, a correspondent for Sky Sport, expressed uncertainty regarding Allegri’s continuation in his role for the upcoming Serie A fixture against Bologna on Monday.

Interestingly, Thiago Motta, the current coach of Rossoblu, emerges as a primary contender to succeed Allegri at the Allianz Stadium next season. Discussions between Juventus director Giuntoli and Motta’s representatives have been ongoing, suggesting Allegri’s ousting was inevitable even before recent events.

Nevertheless, Allegri’s behavior during the Coppa Italia Final against Atalanta may hasten the decision-making process for Giuntoli and the Juventus board. Despite already securing a top-five finish in Serie A, ensuring Champions League participation for the next season, the club’s dissatisfaction with Allegri’s conduct seems to outweigh his achievements on the field.
