Reports: Inter Milan and Juventus eye Mauricio Pochettino
Inter Milan and Juventus have set their sights on Mauricio Pochettino as per a report in The Telegraph. The publication claims that the manager is viewed as an 'attractive option' for the two Serie A giants.
Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri have reportedly not impressed at their respective clubs and the Italian giants are now looking to find suitable replacements for the duo. Both former Chelsea managers are fighting for the Serie A title and it is Sarri who is leading the way with Juventus right now.
However, the failure to land the Coppa Italia and the style of football Juventus are currently playing is the main talk among the fans and management. Maurizio Sarri has just been at the club for a year now but things do not look good for his future at the Allianz Stadium.
Meanwhile, Antonio Conte was expected to deliver the title this season but he has not managed to get it done. The San Siro side are heavily investing in the squad and with Lautaro Martinez reportedly set to leave for a big price, their transfer budget might just increase a lot more.
