Juventus will reportedly move for Manuel Pellegrini should they lose manager Massimiliano Allegri this summer.
Pellegrini will depart his post as Manchester City boss at the end of the season as Pep Guardiola is due to replace him in the Premier League.
Allegri has been linked with the manager's job at Chelsea, but according to reports in Italy, national team coach Antonio Conte has already agreed in principle to take over at Stamford Bridge.
Despite those reports, ESPN claims that Juve are preparing to look at other candidates should Allegri opt to leave, and Pellegrini is high on the list because of his coaching qualities.
Pellegrini has won the Premier League and League Cup in the last two seasons at City.
