Juventus, the two leaders of the Premier League, want – and Maurizio Sarri either

Juventus would target Pep Guardiola or Mauricio Pochettino as new director, Maurizio Sarri being considered only as an alternative.

The Italian giants are looking for a new coach after the departure of Mbadimiliano Allegri, who has left the club after winning five consecutive titles in Serie A.

According to reports released on Wednesday, Juve players have already learned that Chelsea manager Sarri will take over the Turin club this summer.

However, it seems that this may not be the case after the Italian football expert, Adam Digby, suggested that City boss, Guardiola and Tottenham manager Pochettino give priority to their team. wish list.

When asked if he thought Sarri would take charge of Juve before next season, Digby told Sky Sports: "It's really wrong, Juve sees it almost as a retreat.

"They are looking at Pep Guardiola and we know that they are turning to Mauricio Pochettino, they are still trying to target one of them, but keep Maurizio Sarri as a fallback option.

"I think that's why the issue of Sarri's compensation and the termination of his contract in Chelsea takes so long, because Juve did not stay there saying," OK, we Will just pay and have this manager. "

"They would like to have it in case, but they will not pay money because they could have the man they really want."

After leading Chelsea to his Europa League win on Wednesday, Sarri said he would discuss his future with Chelsea – but feels he deserves to stay at Stamford Bridge next season.

The Italian boss of the task master won the first major trophy of his managerial career while Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-1 to win the Europa League title in Baku.

Sarri is courted by Juventus to return to Serie A after just a year in West London, but insisted after the triumph of the Europa League that he would like to stay with the Blues.

The former business banker now hopes to meet with Chelsea's owner, Roman Abramovich, to determine the way forward, although he has two more years left for the current Blues contract.

"You know very well that I like the Premier League, the level of the competition, and I'm lucky because I'm in Chelsea, one of the best teams in the best world championship" said Sarri.

"So, for now, I'm happy, but of course I want to know if the club is happy, if we can improve.

"It's normal, I think, I have a discussion with the owner after each season with each club."
