It’s gonna be official in the next 24 hours. ⏳ @DiMarzio
The 53-year-old left Turin in 2019 after five years in charge and Juve has since had Maurizio Sarri and Pirlo in charge with varying results.
Sarri was able to secure the Serie A title at Juventus Stadium while the iconic former Italy international has only landed the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana before a nervy finish to the 2020-21 term saw UCL qualification just about secured.
Massimiliano Allegri is set to join Juventus! The agreement is now ‘imminent’ and Andrea Pirlo will be sacked in the next hours. ⚪️⚫️ @SkySport
