Allegri excited to get started after Juventus extension

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has declared his happiness following the extension of his contract with the club.

The 47-year-old joined La Vecchia Signora at the start of the 2014/15 Serie A season following the departure of Antonio Conte, and has had a very successful first season with the club after winning the league title along with reaching the Champions League final.

His contract extension means he is now tied to the Bianconeri until 2017, which Allegri announced he was very happy about.

“One more year together: Thanks Juventus! I can’t wait to get started,” he tweeted.
