Massimiliano Allegri signs new Juventus deal until 2020
Juventus have won three Serie A titles in a row under the coach
They have also reached two of the last three Champions League finals
Massimiliano Allegri has extended his contract with Juventus until 2020, the Italian club confirmed on Wednesday.
Allegri took over in 2014 and has since guided Juve to three Serie A titles, three Coppa Italia trophies and one Italian Super Cup.
In that time Juve have also been to two Champions League finals, losing to Barcelona in 2014 and Real Madrid last weekend in Cardiff.
“[The] agreement extends a working relationship that has seen the Bianconeri consolidate their position as Italy's top team and also evolve into one of European football's major forces,” Juve said in a statement.
“Looking more closely into the numbers of his Juve reign so far, Allegri has won 84 out of 114 Serie A matches, taking an average 2.36 points per game for a grand total of 269.
“With the 49-year-old in charge, the Bianconeri have scored 224 and conceded just 71 goals.”
Allegri’s new deal clears up any doubts about his future. He had been linked with Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks.
In recent months he had also been mentioned as a candidate for the Barcelona and Arsenal jobs, although the former appointed Ernesto Valverde and the latter handed Arsene Wenger a contract extension.
Juve have now won six straight league titles in Italy and Allegri will lead them in search of a seventh next season, while they will also look to go one better in the Champions League.
