Alessio backing Zidane over Conte for Juventus return

Former Juventus assistant coach Angelo Alessio can see Zinedine Zidane replacing Massimilano Allegri as coach next season.

There is talk of Allegri walking away from the job this summer.

And both former Real Madrid coach Zidane and ex-Juve boss Antonio Conte have been mentioned as replacements.

Alessio, who is a former No2 of Conte's, told Sportitalia: "I would see a foreign coach, it could be Zidane. Everyone talks about him, he knows the environment well, beyond Antonio.

"There is also the thought of a return of Antonio on the same bench he left when we first went to the National team and then to Chelsea. Antonio knows all about Juventus, but I think Juve could go for Zidane."
