Juventus' trophy cabinet is already likely to full to the brim, but the Italian champions will be adding to it this week after cleaning up at the Gran Gala del Calcio.
The Serie A awards ceremony took place in Milan on Monday night, and perhaps unsurprisingly all the big awards will be heading back to the Juventus Stadium.
Massimiliano Allegri picked up the gong for Best Manager for the 2015-16 season, while Juventus as a whole secured the Best Club award.

In fact, there were seven spots in the Team of the Year reserved for Juve players, after they romped to a fifth consecutive Serie A title.
Leonardo Bonucci was one of the defenders in the team, and he had the added bonus of being awarded the Best Player award at the ceremony.
When Allegri stepped onto the stage to collect his award, just one day after a 2-0 win at Sassuolo, he saved particular praise for his players.
'They're the ones who have won on the pitch, so they deserve the credit. It's no secret how to succeed in this game.

'You need good players and a good club, then the manager must make sure he doesn't do anything wrong.
'A sixth straight Scudetto is our objective. It would be a legendary achievement and one which no club has ever achieved before.
'There's Roma, Napoli and Inter also competing for the title this season and Sunday's match against the Nerazzurri will be a key contest.'
