Juventus confirms Allegri return
Juventus has turned to Massimiliano Allegri to take charge for a second time after parting company with Andrea Pirlo.
Massimiliano Allegri has returned to Juventus for a second spell as manager after Andrea Pirlo's departure.
Pirlo left the Turin giant barely nine months after signing a two-year deal to take over from Maurizio Sarri.
The former playmaker failed to live up to expectations as a manager and Juventus brought an abrupt end to his reign.
The Bianconeri wasted little time in revealing that Allegri has returned as boss of the Serie A giant, which was dethroned as Italian champion by Inter this month.
Allegri, who was linked with Inter and Real Madrid before agreeing to rejoin his former club, had been out of work since ending his hugely successful tenure with Juventus two years ago.
The 53 year-old masterminded five consecutive Scudetto triumphs in his first spell at the club, and his team lifted the Coppa Italia on four occasions.
Juve was beaten Champions League finalist with Allegri at the helm in 2014-2015 and 2016-2017.
