The football world was stunned when Juventus announced that Massimiliano Allegri will leave the club in the summer.
Allegri, 51, enjoyed five trophy-laden seasons in Turin. But reports of feuds with club officials – including sporting director Fabio Paratici and vice-president Pavel Nedved – led to his early exit, givemesport.com reports.
As the search begins for a replacement, Allegri is backing the Old Lady to hire a “great” coach, to match the club’s status.
“The name of the next coach? That I don’t know, someone needs to be on the bench, but I don’t know who,” he told Italian TV programme Striscia La Notizia, per the Mirror.
“In any case they will choose a great coach because Juve is a great club.”
One man currently looking for a job is, of course, Jose Mourinho – with the Portuguese coach out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in December.
And of the current vacancies, Juventus – a club with ambitions of winning the Champions League – has to be the most appealing.
Interestingly enough, Mourinho reportedly has the backing of someone who has plenty of influence at Juventus – Cristiano Ronaldo.
The five-time ballon d’Or winner reportedly wants his compatriot to bring his winning mentality to the Old Lady.
Fingers crossed on this one…
