Juventus confirm manager Max Allegri will leave club at end of season
Italian failed to deliver European glory and is set to hand over the challenge to a new boss next season, with Maurizio Sarri a candidate
MAX ALLEGRI will leave Juventus at the end of the season.
The Italian boss won five straight Serie A titles in Turin but failed to deliver European glory.
And Juve have confirmed the tactician will announce his exit at a press conference tomorrow.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is a shock candidate to replace Allegri.
Despite guaranteeing the Blues a top-four finish, there are still rumours that Sarri could be given the boot at Stamford Bridge this summer.
Fans have never taken to his "Sarri-ball" tactics, and his treatment of of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi has alienated him still further.
Now Italian newspaper is reporting that the 60-year-old is being eyed by Juventus for their top job.
Chelsea, in turn, have been following club legend Frank Lampard's run to the play-off final with Derby.
And Lamps could return to the club he loves as boss if Sarri moves back to Italy.
Whoever is in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat next season will be in a tricky position if the Blues cannot get their transfer ban overturned.
While the Old Lady chief will be working with Aaron Ramsey and Cristiano Ronaldo after the Welshman's switch on a free.
Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo has never won the Champions League without a Dragons star in his team.
And he will hope to bring the trophy to Italy and continue the success he enjoyed with Ryan Giggs and Gareth Bale.
