Juventus ‘eye Premier League boss’ to be next manager after missing out on Antonio Conte

Juventus are considering another managerial change and – after being turned down by Antonio Conte – are looking at Fulham boss Marco Silva as he continues to impress

Juventus are ready to go after Fulham boss Marco Silva as they continue their search for a new manager following a rejection from Antonio Conte.

The Italian giants are no longer the force they once were and are scouring the market for a new manager. They are open to replacing Igor Tudor – who they hired as Thiago Motta’s successor in March. Tudor secured Champions League football, but is not necessarily seen as their long-term fit.

Juventus have already been snubbed by former boss Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini, who has just announced he will leave Atalanta after a successful period. As a result their attention has turned to the west London outfit.

Since being appointed Silva has led Fulham to the Championship title and then consolidated the Cottagers as a Premier League outfit. He’s secured comfortable mid-table finishes as his stock continues to rise.

Sky Sports in Italy report that Juventus have had initial contact with Silva’s camp and that their incoming general director Damien Comolli is an admirer of the Portuguese boss, who is yet to take charge of an elite European club.

Silva’s contract expires next summer and he has impressed in a four-year tenure in the capital as he’s continually been linked with vacancies elsewhere. However he did claim that he sees himself as Fulham’s manager next season.

On the final day he said: “I am under contract with the club and of course I’ve been in planning with the board (for) next season. Everything on track and the plan is there. We have the next two months to prepare for the season as best we can. If I’m under contract with the club and if I’m planning with the club the next season, of course I expect to be here.”

Silva has previously resisted the temptation to head to Saudi Arabia, where there is serious interest in him. Al-Hilal previously tabled a mega £40million two-year deal, but he chose to remain at Craven Cottage.

Juventus have been unable to tempt Conte back to the club. Their dominance of Italian football began when Conte was in charge but he’s since moved on and excelled elsewhere. He’s just claimed the Serie A title with Napoli and looks as if he’ll remain despite talk of a sudden exit.
