https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40164655/juventus-sack-massimiliano-allegri-cup-final-anticsMassimiliano Allegri has been sacked by Juventus, the club announced Friday, two days after they beat Atalanta in the Coppa Italia final.
Juventus have two games left in Serie A, but Allegri was due to miss them following a two-game suspension for his behavior in the final on Wednesday.
Allegri lost his cool in stoppage time when he grew angry at a decision, ripped off his jacket and earned a red card for sarcastically applauding the referee as Juventus beat Atalanta 1-0.
Juventus said in a statement that Allegri's behavior was not in line with their "values."
"The firing follows certain behaviors during and after the Italian Cup final that the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus, and the behavior that those who represent it should have," the club said.
Aside from the suspension, he was also fined $5,400 by the Serie A league judge. Allegri "acted aggressively" and used insulting language and gestures toward the referees, the judge reported.
Italian media reported that Allegri was also aggressive toward journalists after the match.
The Italian football federation is looking into the events during the final.
