Juventus recently parted ways with Massimiliano Allegri and are on the lookout for a new manager with Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea men linked.
The report reveals that Sarri is among the likes of Pep Guardiola, Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino who are being considered for the vacant job, but the former Napoli manager might have a slight edge.
It is understood that Conte has a deal in place to take over Inter Milan in the summer, while Guardiola and Pochettino are tied down to long term deals for which Juventus will have to pay millions in compensation, something they aren’t willing to do.
Sarri, with his previous experience in Serie A, will be an ideal option for Juventus and, according to the report, Chelsea will not stand in the Italian’s way if he decides to move on this summer.
This should come as a huge relief for Tottenham fans who were at risk of losing their manager, Pochettino, to the Turin based club.
With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Zinedine Zidane firmly at the helm of Manchester United and Real Madrid respectively, Juventus seems to be the only realistic destination for Pochettino.
However, Sarri taking over the Old Lady will more or less guarantee the Argentine’s immediate future with Spurs.
