5 managers who could replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid

#2 Massimilano Allegri

The Juventus manager has tasted plenty of success

There were many rumours circulating towards the end of Zidane's first season in-charge of a possible appointment of Juventus boss Allegri. He isn't short of pedigree and has taken Juventus to an almost invincible level in Italy.

Granted that the Juventus side he took over were already three-time champions but keeping that hunger alive and keeping his squad on their toes to another hat-trick of titles is an incredible feat.

Allegri also plays a different style from Conte, playing a possession-oriented game. He has been lauded for his tactical versatility and his ability to make the most of every combination of players available to him.

Juventus have spent big in order to put further distance between them and the rest but seem to be falling off slightly, sitting fourth in the table currently. But they have lost only once in the league so far and are one win away from the top so it is a little premature to claim their demise.

Their performances in the Champions League have not been good enough for the notoriously demanding Allegri and he could be tempted with a change of scenery. The Italian was previously at AC Milan and has a reputation of being one of the top managers in Europe.

It might be premature to suggest that Allegri is looking to leave Juventus, but Real usually get their way if they really want it.
