Juventus FC looking to lure Manchester City coach Roberto http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 to the club – Serie A news
Juventus FC are looking forward to lure the Manchester City tactician Roberto Mancini back to Italy.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan coach has been with City since December 2009 and is yet to secure a trophy for the Citizens.
The Old Lady’s General Manager has been scouting the tactician for some time now. An Italian news agency reported that Marotta has held meetings with Mancini’s agent Giorgio de Giorgis and the deal is very close to being finalised.
This does not mean the Old Lady has closed its options. The outfit is still tracking Walter Mazzarri, currently at fellow Serie A outfit SSC http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, the current FC Zenit Saint Petersburg head coach Luciano Spalletti, and the veteran Italian striker and former
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager Gianluca Vialli. Marotta is being careful with the options in hand and wants to make the best deal in the summer 2011 transfer window.
Juventus have had a very tough term and have failed to keep their act together. The Turin giants under the training of Luigi Delneri have emerged as a weak link in the Serie A. Their major problem in the season so far is their inconsistency. Delneri has
been under constant criticism and has been forced to quit his job but the outfit and the manager decided to stay on the same page until the end of the season.
The Lady Killers were looking forward to making it to the UEFA Champions League next season recently but the team has dropped down to the 7th spot in the League and their European football hopes are all but over. There is very tough competition
for the last Champions League berth at the 4th place currently occupied by SS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775.
A deficit of 8 points, along with teams like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 and Udinese standing between Juve and their target pose the real challenge. With just 5 games remaining in the race to the Scudetto, the Lady Killers have virtually lost the Champions League spot for the
next season.
