While Massimiliano Allegri will keep his job for the time being, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s in for the long run despite his contract. The board of directors will meet soon and could touch on the matter, but it’s not up to them to make the call. Antonio Conte has been spotted in Turin during his time off, and some Juventus fan asked him to come back.
As per TuttoSport, such operation isn’t in the works, although the future of the coach is a question mark. His contract with Tottenham runs out next June. He hasn’t extended it yet, even though his first season has gone well and he seems committed to the project.
The Bianconeri haven’t contacted any other gaffer yet. They will continue with their current one at least until the November break. But there are some slight hints alluding to a possible reunion between Conte and Juventus.
The Old Lady is considering adding a sporting director to their management, promoting the current one, Federico Cherubini, to a bigger role, Libero reports (via Virgilio). Former Roma and Torino exec Gianluca Petrachi is among the options, especially considering that he’s without a team. He’s very tight with the Spurs boss. They could have joined PSG together last summer.
Our Take on Juventus and Conte
It’s a long shot, but it’s more believable than the Bianconeri hiring Mauricio Pochettino or Thomas Tuchel during the World Cup break, as they haven’t had a foreign manager in ages. Time mends fences, and it would be another alluring challenge for him. But he will probably stay at Tottenham for a while. And the Bianconeri can’t afford to wait until the end of the season for a pipe dream.
