Allegri set to renew Juventus contract

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is very close to renewing his contract with the Bianconeri until 2017, after a highly impressive first season at the helm of the Serie A champions.

The 47-year-old tactician signed a contract until June 2016 with Juventus last summer, replacing Antonio Conte, and has ever since achieved impressive results by exceeding pre-season expectations.

According to Il Messaggero, the Juventus board is extremely satisfied with how the former AC Milan coach has managed the team and are working intensively on renewing his contract, either by the end of the Serie A campaign or in mid-June.

Furthermore the media writes that a contract is prepared for Allegri until June 2017 with an option of extension until 2018, as well as with an increased annual salary from his current wages of €2m/year.
