Juventus move for Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino

Juventus have made a move for Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino is the favourite to replace Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus after the club confirmed the Italian coach will leave at the end of the season.

The 51-year-old Italian coach has won five Serie A titles and the Coppa Italia four times during his five years in charge of the Turin-based side, as well as finishing runners-up in the Champions League in 2015 and 2017.

Corriere dello Sport says Juve made contact with the Tottenham boss last week, with the Argentine coach demanding an enormous £17million-per-year contract.

Pochettino himself has made it clear that he is seriously considering leaving Tottenham at the end of the campaign if they don't attempt to build on their first major European cup final appearance.
