Juventus is to embark into a new era following Friday's announcement that Massimiliano Allegri is to step down at the end of the campaign.
Following a five-year stint at the Allianz Stadium, where he won five Serie A titles, four Coppas Italia, two Supercoppas Italiana and finished runner-up in the Champions League twice, Allegri is to call it a day after his side's final two matches of the 2018-19 season.
But amid all the trophy-winning highs, the 51-year-old also endured a number of lows – namely missing out on the Champions League crown that his side crave most of all.
Here we look back at the ups and downs of Allegri's tenure as Juventus starts its search for a replacement.
Debut season brings domestic double
Upon taking over from three-in-a-row title winner Antonio Conte in July 2014, Allegri hit the ground running in his first season at the club by guiding Juve to a fourth successive top-flight crown for the second time in its history.
He followed that up with more domestic success in the Coppa Italia, beating Lazio 2-1 after extra time in the final to pull off the first of four doubles.
Pogba's departure raises questions
The 2016 sale of star man Paul Pogba to Manchester United reflected badly on Juventus and their coach, even if the £89 million fee – a world-record sum at the time – was almost impossible to turn down.
Juve had sold to a rival which was not even in the Champions League, and Allegri acknowledged the following year that he "did nothing" to stop the transfer going through. In the wake of its latest European failure, it could be argued the World Cup-winning midfielder is exactly the type of player it could do with.
Second time unlucky
Two years after losing to Barcelona in the 2015 final, Juve fell short once again in Cardiff as it suffered a 4-1 loss to Real Madrid.
Allegri's men headed into the match having maintained its dominance of the domestic game by retaining its Serie A title and the Coppa Italia, but the Juve fell just short of winning a first ever treble.
Juve was level with an hour played at the Principality Stadium, only to crumble from that point on – largely thanks to the form of Cristiano Ronaldo, who would later join it – as the La Liga side struck three more times to make it back-to-back triumphs on the continent.
Luring Ronaldo to Turin
If losing Pogba to United was a blight on Allegri, playing his part in persuading Ronaldo to join from Madrid in 2018 will certainly be a positive mark for his legacy.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner wanted a new challenge away from the Santiago Bernabeu, and Allegri's sustained success ensured Juve was the ideal destination for Ronaldo, who has scored 21 goals in 30 Serie A appearances.
However, Ronaldo's debut campaign may ultimately be remembered for the trophies he failed to lift, rather than the two he did.
Ajax youth proves too much for the Old Lady
Even with Ronaldo in his ranks, Allegri could not end Juve's hoodoo on the European stage.
A path to the final seemed to have had opened up for the two-time Champions League winner as, after relying on Ronaldo to bail it out against Atletico Madrid in the last 16, it had Ajax in the quarterfinals and one of Tottenham or Manchester City if it made it past the Eredivisie giant.
That elusive European breakthrough again passed Allegri by, though, as Juve was outclassed by Erik ten Hag's youthful Ajax team. The Italian champion crashed out 3-2 on aggregate and Allegri came in for criticism for his negative approach, with many marking that upset as the beginning of the end for the 51-year-old.
Sustained success in Serie A
Allegri will ultimately bow out with a smile on his face as Juventus will lift the Serie A title – his fifth with the Old Lady and sixth overall – after its final home match of the season against high flying Atalanta on Sunday.
After it was given a run for its money by Napoli in 2017-18, Juve wrapped up the title in record time this season, only going off the boil in Serie A once it became clear it was not going to be caught.
Motivating largely the same group of players to go for title after title is no easy feat and Allegri, if nothing else, managed to achieve that consistently over five years in Turin.
