Rome: Juventus said on Monday they had reached a deal with coach Massimiliano Allegri, who they fired two weeks ago, to end his contract by mutual agreement.

The 56-year-old Italian was sacked on May 17 after he exploded with anger during the Italian Cup final win over Atalanta two days earlier.

On Monday the club said the two sides had agreed the terms of the separation.

"Juventus Football Club and Massimiliano Allegri can confirm that they have mutually agreed to terminate his contract at the end of the current season," the Turin giants said.

"The club would like to thank Allegri for all the sporting achievements that he has spearheaded over the years and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours."
