Juventus Reportedly Deny Massimiliano Allegri Split, Antonio Conte Return

Juventus sources have reportedly denied growing speculation manager Massimiliano Allegri will depart the club to be replaced by former boss Antonio Conte.

Per Football Italia, several Italian outlets—including Sport Mediaset, La Stampa and La Repubblica—reported Allegri and club president Andrea Agnelli had a meeting on Wednesday in which they decided to part ways.

But ANSA (h/t Football Italia) reported Thursday that club sources say those reports are "unsubstantiated."

Per Football Italia, Agnelli and Allegri have repeatedly stated the former AC Milan boss will stay, but speculation has been growing ever since Ajax knocked Juventus out of the UEFA Champions League in the quarter-finals in April.
