Antonelli backing Zidane to succeed Allegri at Juventus

Former Bari and Siena sports chief Stefano Antonelli can see Zinedine Zidane returning to Juventus.

Antonelli is backing the former Real Madrid coach to eventually succeed Massimiliano Allegri at Juve.

He told RMC: "Zidane to Juventus after Allegri? Yes because he has charisma. After Antonio Conte, football seemed finished in Turin, but Allegri did an impressive job.

"The structure of Juventus is impressive for their coaching network. Zidane has neither the worry nor the problem to manage a dressing room of stars, I like him for his profile."

Zidane spent five years with Juve between 1996 and 2001.
