Gianluca Vialli Tipped As Favourite To Replace Luigi Del Neri At Juventus
Vialli latest name to be linked with Juventus...
Gianluca Vialli is being tipped to replace Luigi Del Neri at Juventus, but the decision has not cleared all the hoops officially.
Tuttosport reports Vialli, who has not coached since leaving Watford almost a decade ago, would be the ideal candidate to replace Del Neri at Juventus should he be ousted.
Times are hard in Turin, Del Neri said he had the full backing of the board on Friday. But, Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to Milan has renewed intense speculation his time could be up.
Vialli is just one of many names being thrown into the rumour mill. Former Juventus players Claudio Gentile and Pierluigi Casiraghi are also in the frame.
Former Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has been named among those on the list, but the feeling in Russia is he is happy to remain with Zenit St Petersburg.
Hopes for the Champions League appear to be fading, and president Andrea Agnelli, who last week said he would make changes in the summer, may have to curtail those plans if the Old Lady continues to lose ground.
