Juventus extends contracts
TURIN, Italy — A month after guiding Juventus to an unexpected spot in the Champions League final, coach Massimiliano Allegri has had his contract with Juventus extended through 2017.
Juventus made the announcement Monday, while also extending the contract of midfielder Claudio Marchisio through 2020.
While financial details were not disclosed, the Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Allegri’s deal boosts his salary from $2.75 million US to $3.85 million per season.
That makes him the second-highest paid coach in Serie A after Inter Milan’s Roberto Mancini, who will earn $4.4 million for the next two seasons.
