Juventus GM Beppe Marotta has spoken of replacing Antonio Conte with Massimiliano Allegri.

Chelsea boss Conte walked away from Juve in 2014 after complaining about transfer policy.

"It was a pretty difficult moment for us, because we terminated the contract with Conte by mutual consent in the second day of pre-season training," director Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.

“We moved very quickly to resolve the issue and find a Coach who fit the profile of Juventus. We are a team behind the scenes who work together and tend to agree unanimously."

It was an unpopular decision at the time, as Allegri had been fired by Milan only five months earlier.

“At the time, not to diminish Allegri, there were precious few options available, but we did all decide unanimously that he personified the suitable profile of a Juventus Coach.

“Perhaps we ended up being fortunate in the circumstances that we got Massimiliano and he was available."
