Juve: Klopp the dream for the post-Allegri era

Juve: Klopp the dream for the post-Allegri era

Juventus are in the midst of a transformation; both on and off the pitch. On the pitch, a number of players look to be heading for the exit whilst in the backroom, head coach Massimiliano Allegri has announced that he will be stepping down from his role at the end of the season.

Juventus are, therefore, currently looking around for Allegri's replacement; with a number of names shortlisted and mentioned in the media as potential candidates. Maurizio Sarri and Antonio Conte lead the pack whilst Simone Inzaghi and Pep Guardiola have also been named as in the running.

However, the one name that perhaps stands out above the rest is that of current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. The German has worked wonders with the Reds and turned them from an average side into a club that, although failing to win any silverware, is giving the other big sides in the Premier League much more of a run for their money than they have in the past 15 years.

Klopp is Juventus' number one target but, so far, it is unclear as to whether or not they will be able to easily steal him away from the clutches of Liverpool.
