Juventus plan surprise bid to land Guardiola as Sarri’s replacement
Juventus are reportedly preparing to pull off the most audacious of managerial coups by persuading Pep Guardiola to leave Manchester City and take the reins at the Allianz Stadium.
The big-spending Italians are said to be readying a ‘money-no-object’ package to bring Guardiola to Turin and offer the Spaniard his first foray in Serie A.
Juve only appointed Maurizio Sarri in the summer but already harbour reservations and see Guardiola as the bigger picture, according to the Sun.
Juve president Andrea Agnelli is said to be convinced Guardiola is the missing link to restoring the dominance of his side.
As things currently stand Juve sit second in Serie A on goal difference, behind old rivals Inter Milan.

Inter, led by former Juve boss Antonio Conte, have spent heavily and are determined to get back among European football’s elite.
Sarri stands at risk of being the manager responsible for blowing a record ninth Serie A title in a row.
Guardiola’s current deal sees him bank in the region of £15million a year at City, though this season his side has been blown away by rivals Liverpool.
