Paolo Montero has been named caretaker coach at Juventus.

The former Uruguay defender steps up from the Primera team to take charge of the seniors after Max Allegri’s dismissal on Friday.

Montero will take the first team until the end of the season.

Allegri was sacked on Friday for his behaviour after winning the Coppa Italia final against Atalanta.

The coach clashed with sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and journalists during the celebrations.
