Antonio Conte is reportedly the odds-on favourite to replace his former teammate Igor Tudor as Juventus head coach.
The Bianconeri have recently appointed the Croatian as interim manager after sacking Thiago Motta due to a series of horrific results.
Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli suggested the 46-year-old could earn himself the job on a permanent basis, and his contract does include a renewal option that the club can activate in case they were to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Nevertheless, the sentiment at Continassa is that the hierarchy will be looking for a more accomplished profile.
Moreover, Conte’s rumoured return has been more than a whisper around Turin. The former Juventus captain and manager took charge of Napoli last summer, but several reports claim he’ll be aiming to free himself at the end of the season due to his poor relationship with club president Aurelio Di Laurentiis.
According to Italian journalist Giovanni Albanese, Conte has a 40% chance of being appointed Juventus manager, making him the biggest favourite for the role.
