Juventus Identify the Premier League Manager to Replace Max Allegri After Poor Start to the New Season

• Antonio Conte has reportedly been earmarked as the most ideal candidate to succeed Max Allegri at Juventus
• Allegri is currently under immense pressure after a disastrous start to the new season, where he has led Juve to five defeats in the Serie A
• Conte is contracted at Tottenham Hotspur until 2023, with reports suggesting the Old Lady could make a move for him at the time

Juventus are reportedly contemplating sacking Max Allegri as the club's manager following their slow start to the new season.

The Old Lady have been a shadow of their former selves so far this term, with the Italian giants currently sitting eighth on the Serie A standings.

Juve have picked just 10 points from seven matches, with four of those matches ending in defeats.

The Allegri-tutored side's last outing ended in a 1-0 shock defeat against lowly-ranked Monza on Sunday in a match that saw Angel Di Maria pick a red card.

The latest loss left Allegri under immense pressure, with reports suggesting Juventus could show him the door.

Juve want Antonio Conte as new manager

According to the Daily Mail, Juve chiefs are considering Antonio Conte as the most ideal candidate to take over should they sack Allegri.

Conte is no stranger in Turin, having previously managed Juventus before he left in 2014 after he differed with club chief Andrea Agnelli.

But with the Italian's deal with Tottenham set to expire in 2023, reports suggest Juventus could be tempted to bring him back to steady the ship at the Allianz Stadium.

The development comes at a time Conte has enjoyed a bright start to life with Spurs, having already led the north Londoners to five wins after seven Premier League outings.
