Didier Deschamps emerges as shock favourite to replace Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus
The World Cup-winning France head coach has emerged as the new favourite to replace the incumbent Italian tactician.
Reports in Italy suggest that France boss Didier Deschamps could return to Juventus to replace incumbent Massimiliano Allegri.
Italian publication Tuttosport have suggested that the France national team head coach is on the verge of joining the Italian champions for a second tenure after his stint in 2007. The reports suggest that Deschamps feels he has unfinished business at Turin after their meteoric rise from the second division. Plus with the budget allowed at Juventus will be a luxury for someone as shrewd as Deschamps.
However, current head coach Allegri is also set to meet the Juventus president Andrea Agnelli to decide his future in Turin.
