Juventus supremo Luciano Moggi has confirmed that the new coach of the Old Lady will be Cesare Prandelli or Didier Deschamps.
Moggi has confirmed that he has approached both about taking over from Marcello Lippi - who has already confirmed his intention to leave Stadio Delle Alpi in the summer.
Both Parma coach Prandelli and Monaco's Deschamps (pictured) were strongly tipped when Lippi announced his departure last week - and now Moggi has revealed that the new manager will come from one of those two.
"Who will be the new coach? One between Prandelli and Deschamps," Moggi told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"We have spoken with both of them and we will take the decision after May 12.
"Deschamps and Prandelli are both good.
"Deschamps has been a player of mine, and was a coach already when he was on the pitch.
"From this point of view he reminds me of [Fabio] Capello and [Carlo] Ancelotti.
"Prandelli is working in a good way with young players. For him results are talking.
"But I repeat, we will make the choice after May 12."
After guiding his side in to the UEFA Champions League final, Deschamps insisted he was only thinking of Monaco.
"I am firmly in a job at Monaco until the end of the season - afterwards we will see," said the former Juve star.
"It is not part of my thoughts at the moment."
Monaco have also stated their desire to keep Deschamps.
"The management of Monaco has offered to extend Didier Deschamps's contract," club president Pierre Svara told L'Equipe.
"We are in negotiations. He was pleased and said he was enjoying his time at Monaco.
"The extension will be from one to three years."
