Juventus have already sealed an eighth successive Italian Serie A ahead of their final game at Sampdoria.

During his time at Juventus, Allegri led the Old Lady to five straight league titles as well as to four Coppa Italia titles.

In addition, Maximiliano Allegri also led Juventus to two Champions League finals in three years.

Allegri and Juventus lost the 2015 Champions League final to Spanish champions Barcelona via a 3-1 defeat before suffering a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid during the 2017 Champions League final.

Several candidates have been linked to the Juventus job including Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola though the Citizens have moved to dismiss those reports linking the Spanish tactician to the job in Turin.
