Allegri on verge of sack after Italian Cup rampage: media

Massimiliano Allegri is close to being sacked by Juventus on Friday after exploding with anger during his team's midweek Italian Cup triumph, according to widespread reports in local media.

Juventus won their 15th Italian Cup on Wednesday night but Allegri burst into a rage, first being sent off in the final minutes after ranting at match officials and then waving away sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli during the post-match celebrations. Italian media reported that Juve are evaluating whether to dismiss Allegri with just cause for his behaviour on Wednesday night, when he is also alleged to have manhandled and threatened the chief editor of newspaper Tuttosport before the post-match press conference.

Allegri was on Thursday given an automatic two-match ban in the cup for his straight red card but could receive further punishment.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
