Juventus to turn to Spalletti if Allegri leaves

The Italian champions would like to see their current coach to see out the final year of his contract but have already identified the best replacement

Juventus are hoping to persuade Massimiliano Allegri to remain in Turin but have lined up Luciano Spalletti as a potential successor should their current coach decide to depart at the end of the season.

Allegri's contract runs until June 30, 2018 and the Bianconeri could not be happier with the former AC Milan boss, who has won successive league-and-cup doubles since taking charge in the summer of 2014 - and is presently on target for another.
