Juventus appoints Montero as interim coach for final 2 matches after Allegri fired

Juventus Under-19 coach Paolo Montero will take charge of the senior team for the final two matches of the season after Massimiliano Allegri was fired last week. The 52-year-old Montero, who played for the Bianconeri, has never coached a Serie A team but Juventus announced on Sunday that he would make the step up for the final two league matches. Juventus ends the season at home to Monza next weekend. Allegri was fired on Friday for his ugly outburst toward the referees in last week's Italian Cup final.
