Juventus coach Allegri explains red card during Coppa final defeat to Inter Milan | OneFootball

Juventus coach Max Allegri explained his dismissal during their Coppa Italia final defeat to Inter Milan last night.

Allegri saw red for clashing with Inter assistant coach Massimiliano Farris as Juve lost 4-2.

The Bianconeri had fought back from an early Nicolò Barella goal with Alex Sandro and Dusan Vlahovic in the space of 120 seconds, but a contentious Hakan Calhanoglu penalty forced extra time, when Ivan Perisic struck a matchwinning double.

“Someone from Inter walked past and kicked me. I got angry and quite rightly the referee sent me off," Allegri explained on Sport Mediaset.

“Finding out what happened changes nothing. We just have to congratulate Inter for winning. We do not win a single trophy this season, we have to retain that anger for next season, when we must get back to winning.

“It was a good performance, but we fell away towards the end, there were players who were not fully fit and did all they could. It's disappointing, but we can only thank them for their efforts."

He added: “We learn from these experiences. It's a pity, because we didn't get the win against Inter in Serie A and did not take our revenge this evening either. Incidents can go against you some days, in favour the others."
