The Italian Serie A club were hit with a 15-point deduction by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) following an investigation into the club’s past transfer dealings.
The 15-point penalty pulls Juventus down to the 10th spot on the League table from third.
However, Juventus have denied any wrongdoing and have come out to confirm they will appeal against the decision to the Sport Guarantee Board of the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI).
Allegri said: “We have to regroup and think only of matters on the pitch.
“We don’t have to think about starting again. The legal proceedings concern the company and there will be an appeal. The standings say that at the moment we have 22 points and we have to try to earn results and make up positions.
“We must continue to do our duty because the sentence is in two months’ time and we must have no regrets when the verdict comes.”
