Massimiliano Allegri threatened and insulted a journalist in the wake of Juventus' Coppa Italia triumph over Atalanta on Wednesday, reports in Italy have claimed. But Juventus' success was marred by reports of an alleged altercation between Allegri and an esteemed Italian journalist on Wednesday night. According to Tuttosport editor-in-chief Guido Vaciago, Allegri confronted him with threats and insults after the match, furious at the journalist for 'not writing the truth' in his newspaper. Vaciago, who claims to have told Allegri to calm down, was then reportedly pushed by the Italian and threatened. It is claimed a Juventus press officer then intervened by holding the manager back, escorting him away from the editor.
