Massimiliano Allegri extends Juventus stay until 2017

Juventus have confirmed that manager Massimiliano Allegri has signed a one-year contract extension with the club.

The 47-year-old's new deal in Turin is due to expire in 2017.

Allegri won the Serie A title and Coppa Italia during his first season in charge of Juve after arriving at the club in July 2014.

He also guided the side to the Champions League final, but a 3-1 defeat to Barcelona saw them miss out on the treble.
