He then spent two years at Grosseto before having spells at Sassuolo and Cagliari.<\/p>\n<h2>Juventus Achievements<\/h2>\n<p>In his time at Juventus, Allegri has won five consecutive Serie A titles and four Coppa Italias. This season was the first in which he did not achieve the domestic double.<\/p>\n<p>The big sticking point for\u00a0<i>La Vecchia Signora\u00a0<\/i>has been their lack of success in the Champions League. They twice lost in the final, against <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a> in 2015 and against <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/real-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Juventus were one of the sides to be shocked by Dutch side Ajax on their run to the semi-finals. They were held to a 1-1 draw in Amsterdam before Erik ten Hag&#8217;s side won the tie in Italy.<\/p>\n<h2>Next Move<\/h2>\n<p>According to reports in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/sport\/football\/juventus-confirm-head-coach-max-allegri-to-leave-at-end-of-season-a4144936.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Evening Standard<\/a>, Allegri was keen on a move to the Premier League when <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/12\/18\/manchester-united-sack-jose-mourinho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jose Mourinho was sacked<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/manchesterunitedfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a>. However, they instead opted to give the job to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Allegri reported to have been on the shortlist.<\/p>\n<p>Allegri was also interested in replacing Arsene Wenger at <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/arsenalfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a>\u00a0before they moved to appoint Unai Emery.
