Massimiliano Allegri’s recent dismissal as Juventus coach could culminate in a legal battle, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Allegri was fired on Friday, following Juventus’ Coppa Italia victory. Despite winning the trophy, his outburst on the touchline and alleged threats towards a sports editor marred the occasion.
The key question revolves around Juventus’ justification for the dismissal.
They reportedly believe they have grounds for termination “for just cause,” which could absolve them of paying Allegri the remaining €7 million on his contract, expiring in 2025.

Allegri, however, has yet to make his next move. If Juventus successfully argues “just cause,” he retains the right to appeal the decision within five days.
The potential outcomes are twofold:
- Juventus wins “just cause” argument: They avoid paying Allegri the remaining €7 million.
- Juventus loses “just cause” argument or Allegri wins appeal: Juventus must pay Allegri the remaining €7 million, and potentially additional compensation for reputational damage.
The coming days will be crucial as Allegri decides his course of action and the potential legal battle unfolds.
