Juventus are in crisis, having won just two of their opening seven games in Serie A so far this season, putting them seven points adrift of leaders Napoli.
Manager Massimiliano Allegri is coming under increasing pressure having only been able to deliver a fourth-place finish last campaign. One of the apparent leading candidates to replace the Italian is Antonio Conte, currently impressing at Tottenham.
Conte rose to prominence during his first spell in Turin, winning three successive Serie A titles before he left in 2014. According to reports in Italy, he would 'gladly return' to Allianz Stadium, with relations between himself and Juve chiefs having thawed.
