Juventus have Italian alternatives lined up for Liverpool boss Benitez

Juventus have two Italian names drawn up as alternatives to No1 coaching target Rafa Benitez.

Juve remain determined to sign the Liverpool manager, but have concerns regarding delays over the Spaniard accepting personal terms.

Press speculation this morning say Juve's new board have Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli and Zenit St Petersburg's Luciano Spalletti lined up as alternatives. Former Roma coach Spalletti has already been contacted.

Unlike Spalletti, Prandelli's current deal with the Viola is due to expire and he is yet to put pen to paper on a new contract.

Benitez pleeeeeeeeeeeeease live liverpool you already done damage to the club it's time to move on.

Rafa is a laughing stock in England and Utd fans want him to stay to make sure Liverpool are no longer a threat. Juventus fans deserve better. The man's a joke.
