Paolo Montero will take charge of Serie A side Juventus for the rest of the season, the club said on Sunday following the sacking of Massimiliano Allegri.
Juventus fired its former coach Allegri on Friday, citing his behavior during and after this week's Coppa Italia final in which he was sent off.

Montero, who coaches the Juventus under-19 team, will coach the remaining two matches, in Bologna on Monday and against Monza at home on May 26.
The 52-year-old Uruguayan won four Serie A titles playing for Juventus as a defender between 1996 and 2005.
“Paolo is a Juventus legend, first on the pitch, and someone who has long carried the Club's DNA on the bench,” the club said in a statement.
Juventus is fourth in Serie A, tied on points with Bologna, third.
