Juventus were back to winning tropies yesterday when they beat Atalanta 1-0 to win a record-extending 15th Coppa Italia.
Dusan Vlahovic’s early strike earned Massimiliano Allegri’s side their first trophy in three years.
Juve, who hold both the record for most Italian Cup finals played (22) and won, had not lifted any silverware since they won the competition in 2020-21, when they also beat Atalanta in the final.
Allegri, meanwhile, became the first coach to win the Coppa Italia five times after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Roberto Mancini lifted the trophy on four occasions.
Vlahovic, who also found the net when they lost the final to Inter Milan in 2022 (4-2), became the third Juve player to score in two Coppa Italia finals after John Charles (1958-59, 1959-60) and Savino Bellini (1937-38, 1941-42).
“I find it difficult to speak, I can only thank everyone,” Vlahovic told Mediaset.
“We know the difficulties we faced, in the end we achieved the objectives set at the beginning of the year. I’m sorry for the Scudetto, but Inter deservedly won it.
