Juventus appoint Antonio Conte as head coach and prepare http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 bid – Serie A Update
Juventus FC have revealed Antonio Conte as the new head coach of the outfit for the upcoming 2011/12 season. The former Juve midfielder signed the contract today in Turin.
Conte was previously the tactician for the AC Siena team that finished 2nd in the 2010/11 Serie B season to make it to the Italian top flight for the upcoming term. Conte will be replacing Luigi Delneri, who came under heavy criticism throughout
the last season for the team’s poor performances.
Conte has had a great career wearing the black-white jersey and played for 12 years with Juve. The Bianconeri legend retired in 2004 and is still remembered as one of the most influential players ever to have played for the Old Lady.
The former midfielder started his coaching career as the assistant coach at Siena and after being the head coach for the likes of AS Bari, Atalanta and Siena again, has finally landed the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 he always dreamt of.

striker, Alexis Sanchez, over Carlos Tevez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 and Kun Aguero for the summer transfer window.
As per the demands of the newly appointed tactician, Juve are ready to place an offer for Sanchez and reports from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 suggest that a deal is likely to work out. However, luring the Chilean international to Turin will not be easy for the Lady Killers,
as they face tough competition from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Manchester City. The striker is marked at 35 million Euros and Juve will have to put a huge sum of their allocated funds into the deal.
Recent reports from Italy also suggest the possible signing of Gokhan Inler from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Total-c40747 sum of 50 million Euros for both the players to the Zebrette.
