3 best candidates to replace Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus

Despite leading Juventus to 5 consecutive League titles, manager Massimiliano Allegri has been sacked by the club following the team's successive failures in the Champions League. The club also suffered an early exit from the Coppa Italia this season which may have forced the exit of the manager.

Champions League is becoming more and more competitive every season. Since Juventus desire to win the trophy, it will be interesting to see who would replace the 51-year-old at Turin. The primary aim of the incoming manager will probably be to produce Champions League success and hence, there has to be a thorough process before recruiting the next manager.

There are a number of managers who are without a club to manage right now apart from a few talented managers who are contracted with a few top clubs across Europe. Juventus' strategy in scouting for their next manager has been kept secret and it is likely that the announcement could be made in the next few days.

On that note, here are 3 best candidates who can become the next manager of Juventus.

#3 Antonio Conte

Antonio Conte has all the qualities to take Juventus to the next level in the Champions League

It has been almost a year since Antonio Conte was sacked as Chelsea's manager and the Italian is yet to find his next job. Conte has previously managed for Juventus. He has won three Serie A titles with the club and he is probably the man who knows the most about the club amongst the managerial candidates.

Although his record in the Champions League may be questionable, Conte does have the qualities to take the club to the next level in the Champions League. A few signings in the summer who would suit the former Chelsea manager's system could be the only requirements for him to help Juventus to win the Champions League next season.

Thus, he is certainly one of the more than capable candidates to replace Allegri.

#2 Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is probably the best manager who is without a job right now

Similar to Antonio Conte, it has been a while since Jose Mourinho last managed a club. He was sacked by Manchester United in December last year and with the kind of experience and talent Mourinho possesses, he could be the ideal man to replace Allegri at Juventus.

The former Manchester United manager has enjoyed success in the Champions League in the past and this could be one major factor that Juventus could consider while deciding on their next manager.

Jose Mourinho has worked with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid in the past and their relationship could be vital for the club's success in the Champions League next season.

Mourinho is someone who is focussed on discipline in his squad and has already proved his tactic to be a mantra for success in various clubs. As such, he could be one of the most eligible candidates to become the next manager of Juventus.

#1 Mauricio Pochettino

He could be a realistic candidate to replace Allegri at Juventus

At a time when spending money in the transfer window has a direct effect on the teams' success, Mauricio Pochettino has proven otherwise. He has just taken Tottenham Hotspurs to the finals of the Champions League this season without spending much. His team has also finished 4th in the Premier League this year and he has achieved that despite missing many of his main players in important matches.

The 47-year-old has the ability to replicate the success with a bigger club and hence, his name will not go unnoticed when Juventus sit down to hire their next manager. Despite possessing limited resources, Pochettino has taken a club so far ahead and with the kind of support he would get at Juventus, he could just help the club achieve what it has been dreaming for the last few years.

Hence, Pochettino is probably the best man to replace Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus next season.
