"In the late afternoon, he underwent further tests that confirmed he has pneumonia, for which specific therapy has been prescribed," Juve said in a statement."The coach has authorised the club to communicate his state of health."The Turin side have won the last eight Serie A titles, including three under Antonio Conte and five under Allegri.
