MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI was given police escort back to his car after Juventus fell to a shock defeat to minnows Monza.
The under-fire manager has seen his side endure a poor start to the Serie A season, which has been compounded by an equally bad European campaign.
The humiliating defeat came after Angel Di Maria was sent off as newly-promoted Monza recorded their first ever victory in this division.
The loss means Juventus are eighth in the table going into the international break.
Allegri was led back to his car by police after the loss, a video by TV Dello Sport appears to show.
Italian cops surround the gaffer as he walks through gates towards the car park.

While Allegri won 5 Serie A titles in a row between 2015 and 2019, his return in 2021 has not gone to plan.
They finished last season 16 points behind champions AC Milan, and crashed out of Europe in a surprise two-legged defeat to Villarreal.
The loss against Monza – which Di Maria claimed responsibility for – followed a dramatic 2-2 draw with Salernitana that was marred by VAR drama.
