Juventus has added to a superb season in securing the services of manager Massimiliano Allegri for another two years.

The Old Lady clinched a fifth consecutive Serie A title by late April, and can add a Coppa Italia to its trophy cabinet if it beats AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico on May 21.

Allegri's exploits have unsurprisingly turned heads elsewhere. He was linked to the Chelsea helm until compatriot Antonio Conte was appointed. His commitment to Juventus will also silence whispers of him succeeding Conte in managing the Italian national team.

After Coppa Italia one of Allegri's earliest tasks could be keeping his star players in Turin. Alvaro Morata has been linked with a move elsewhere, while Paul Pogba remains one of the hottest properties in world football.

Juventus travels to Hellas Verona in Sunday's fixtures, with the home side relegated the same day the visitor clinched the Scudetto.
