Hiddink awaits Juve call
Tuesday 5 January, 2010
Guus Hiddink is no more than a phone call away from the Juventus job, according to Turin based daily Tuttosport.
The Dutch tactician has reportedly been identified as the perfect replacement for ailing rookie coach Ciro Ferrara who has now lost three games in a row in Serie A to Cagliari, Bari and Catania.
Juventus currently lie third in Serie A nine points behind League leaders Inter who they were supposed to run a lot closer after a summer of heavy spending in the transfer market.
Tuttosport understands Hiddink is on holiday until January 10, which coincidentally is the day of Juventus's all-important match against second placed Milan.
If Ferrara fails to deliver two convincing performances from the Bianconeri's next two games, starting tomorrow away to Parma, then Roberto Bettega, the club's newly installed vice-general manager is apparently almost certain to pick up the phone and call Hiddink.
Bettega is reported to have already negotiated a deal with 'Golden Guus' worth £3.5m a year should Juventus eventually fire Ferrara.
His contract would initially be for six months, but with the option to sign for another two and a half years at the end of the season.
