The surprising claim came after the French Coach abruptly resigned with two games to go in the Serie B season, having already secured promotion and first place.

David Trezeguet was the most upset by this turn of events and has since warned he too will walk out after refusing their “ridiculous” contract extension.

“Deschamps is still calling some players in a bid to destabilise the locker room atmosphere,” insisted agent Morabito on ‘Antenna 3’ television.

“It is a very unfair and unprofessional thing to do. He is causing real trouble within the squad.”

Although Morabito did not name specific stars, the Italian media is certain he was referencing fellow Frenchman Trezeguet.

There are others involved too, such as Mauro Camoranesi, Federico Balzaretti – who is on the verge of a move to Fiorentina – and Jean-Alain Boumsong.

It’s alleged that Deschamps is revealing the club hierarchy’s dissatisfaction with certain players, as the matter was discussed with him before he handed in his resignation.

The German newspaper claims that Pavel Nedved told friends Hamburg man Van der Vaart was of real interest to Juve and would be willing to meet his £7m price-tag.
