Montero to coach Juventus until end of the season
Paolo Montero will take charge of Serie A side Juventus for the remainder of the season after the dismissal of Massimiliano Allegri.
Juventus sacked its former head coach Allegri over his behaviour during and after the Coppa Italia final, at which he was sent off, ending a long period of speculation over his future.
Montero, who coaches Juventus Under-19, will take charge for the remaining two matches, at Bologna on Tuesday (AEST) and against Monza at home on 27 May (AEST).
The 52-year-old Uruguayan won four Serie A titles playing for Juventus as a defender from 1996 to 2005 and will take his first training session on Monday (AEST).
"Paolo is a Juventus legend, firstly on the pitch, and someone who has long been a bearer of the club's DNA on the bench," a Juventus statement read.
"Best of luck, Paolo!"
Juve is assured of UEFA Champions League qualification but could still finish between third and fifth in Serie A this season.
