• Juventus won the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday, May 15
• The Bianconeri saw off Atalanta 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico
• Massimiliano Allegri went viral for losing his cool in the tie

Juventus boss, Massimiliano Allegri, had a hilarious meltdown on Wednesday, May 15 during the Coppa Italia final as his side beat Atalanta to secure a record-extending 15th title.

Dusan Vlahovic’s strike in the fourth minute was enough to see off Atalanta, as the game ended 1-0 in favour of the Old lady.

In what was a highly engaging game, Allegri was sent off for an uncharacteristic moment of madness, during which he lost his temper, his jacket, and his tie.

A video of the incident shows the Italian resorting to taking off his jacket in protest of a decision against his side.

With Juventus clinging on to their slender lead, referee Fabio Maresca failed to award the record Serie A champions a free-kick, leaving Allegri incensed.

According to Football Italia, the Juventus boss tore his jacket and berated the fourth official in anger. Unsurprisingly, he was shown a red card immediately after his antics.

Italian commentators saw the funny side of the incident and joked that the former AC Milan manager was performing a striptease.

As he walked off in anger, the Italian manager was heard muttering, “Shame on you.”

Guido Vaciago, the director of Italian news outlet Tuttosport, further alleged that Allegri insulted him afterwards.

What Allegri said after the match

Allegri appeared calm and collected after the match as he spoke about his team’s success at the Coppa Italia final.

“I am pretty lucky because I’ve been part of big clubs. I am still part of a big club so I am very happy. Tonight, we must celebrate because we were not favourites,” he said, as quoted by talkSPORT.
