Zinedine Zidane 'could be set to return to Juventus as manager' with club legend lined up to replace Andrea Pirlo as Frenchman's second spell at Real Madrid fizzles out after Champions League exit to Chelsea

Zinedine Zidane 'is being seriously considered as a replacement for Andrea Pirlo at Juventus' as his time as Real Madrid manager draws to its natural conclusion.

Real's tame loss to Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals last week has only heightened speculation the Frenchman will depart in the summer - even though he has one year remaining on his contract.

And reports in Italy suggest that the Juventus club legend could be set for a romantic return to Turin, with Pirlo set to depart his post following a disappointing season.
