The Serie A club parted ways with Luciano Spalletti, and ex-Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is expected to take over the vacant post.
Gattuso led the team to a sixth-place finish in Serie A last year and fifth this season, a point behind Atalanta and Inter Milan and the final Champions League qualifying places.
Four teams had been fighting for the last two Champions League spots on Sunday and all won their games as Atalanta took third and Inter fourth.
Atalanta drew 1-1 at Italian champion Juventus on Sunday to move into third place in the Italian league, leapfrogging Inter Milan after the Nerazzurri lost 4-1 at Napoli.
With this win, Ronaldo has now won the domestic player of the year award in England, Spain, and Italy.
Allegri's contract was due to expire at the end of next season and he indicated he would remain in place when Juventus clinched a record-extending eighth straight Serie A title last month.
Conte has been out of a job since June 2018 when he was fired from Chelsea, and the former Juventus and Italy coach is seen as the perfect man to rejuvenate the squad.
Kean, who was the victim of racist abuse during the week, came off the bench to score as Juventus came from behind to beat AC Milan 2-1.
Milan had been favoured to win the match after a run of five straight league victories but there was little evidence of the good play on display on Sunday.
It was Juve's first league defeat since April but the Bianconeri still have a commanding advantage at the top of the table. They are 18 points ahead of second-placed Napoli.
Kean, who received a standing ovation when he was replaced late, also won a penalty which was converted by Emre Can.
2 red cards were handed and a late penalty missed by Insigne saw the high dramatic clash ending with Juventus taking a 16-point lead in the Italian league.
The former Real Madrid forward has already developed a good partnership with Mandzukic and it now appears as though his understanding with Dybala is developing swiftly, too.
Frosinone remained next to last in the standings, but only two points from safety in a tight bottom half of the table.
The dispute highlights the tense contract talks that have been going on between the 25-year-old Argentine player and the Italian club.
Ramsey has been at Arsenal since 2008 and his contract expires at the end of the season, allowing him to secure his move in advance to Italy.
Ronaldo has been playing and scoring regularly since the rape allegation emerged but the Portugal superstar appeared distracted on Monday.
Ronaldo's second goal, a penalty, was awarded by the VAR for a questionable handball. Then Sampdoria had a stoppage-time goal chalked off by the Video Assistant Referee.
It was only the second time this season that Juventus has dropped points in Serie A, and gives a sliver of hope to Inter Milan and Napoli which faced each other later.
The 30-year-old Belgian joined Inter in the offseason in a deal which valued him at 38 million euros ($44.3 million).
