The head coach of the Italian club Massimiliano Allegri was removed from the field in the cup final. Dusan Vlahovic decided the championship with his goal.
Juventus won the Italian Cup men’s football championship on Wednesday night. Serbian tip Dusan Vlahovic scored a 1–0 winning goal into Atalanta’s net in the 4th minute of the game.
Vlahovic ran through and managed to kick the ball into the goal despite interference from the Atalanta defender. Vlahovic put the ball into the goal for the second time, but the shot was ruled out for offside.
Instead of the Serbian top match, the spotlight was captured by the head coach of Juventus Massimiliano Allegri.
In extra time, Atalanta almost managed to score an equalizer. In Allegri’s opinion, the situation was preceded by a foul by the opponent, for which no penalty was awarded. It heated the 56-year-old Italian coach to boiling point.
Allegri tore off his suit as well and stepped forward with a red head to shout at the fourth referee. Allegri received a red card for his act and had to leave the field.
In addition, it was surprising Allegri’s behavior after securing the championship. Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli approached the head coach to congratulate him.
However, the coach walked past the athletic director and just waved his hand in his direction.
– My intention was not to push anyone away. I just told the administration to go and get the medals, Allegri commented on the situation According to Sky Sports.
According to media reports, Allegri’s position as head coach is at stake. Juventus is fourth in Serie A with two rounds to go before the end of the season. This year’s champion of the league, Inter Milan, secured the victory a long time ago.
With the cup victory, Juventus secured a place in the Champions League, but a place in the Euro courts seemed uncertain for a long time. Allegri also commented on his future after the final match.
– (If I leave), I will leave a victorious Juve, because winning is part of the club’s DNA. (The season is) 10 days left and we’ll figure it all out by talking and see what’s best for Juve going forward, Allegri said.
Juventus will also face Bologna (series ranking 3rd) and Monza (12th). The final round of Serie A will be played on Sunday, May 26, with the exception of one match.
Atalanta, who lost the cup final, will face German Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final on May 22. The last match of the Italian premier league between Atalanta and Fiorentina will be played on June 2.
