Juventus are reportedly giving consideration to trying to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as a replacement for Massimiliano Allegri.

Brighton & Hove Albion may reportedly face competition from Juventus to appoint Roberto de Zerbi as their next head coach.

The Seagulls are currently considering their options as they look to find a replacement for Graham Potter, who left for Chelsea last week.

With their following two Premier League fixtures having been postponed due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and a rail strike, the club's hierarchy have been able to take their time when bringing in a fresh face.

According to bookmakers, De Zerbi is one of five names who appear to be realistic candidates for the vacant position at the Amex Stadium.

De Zerbi has been out of work since departing Shakhtar Donetsk in July, a consequence of Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.

The 43-year-old now appears to be in demand with Sportmediaset claiming that he could emerge as a possible alternative for Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus.

The Italian giants have been far from impressive since the start of the campaign, prevailing in just two of their eight matches in all competitions.

Since defeating Sassuolo by a 3-0 scoreline on the opening weekend, Juve only have a 2-0 win over Spezia to their name, leaving them down in eighth place in the standings.

Although they remain unbeaten in the top flight, a consequence of the other fixtures ending in draws, successive defeats have been recorded in the Champions League.

While losing 2-1 to Paris Saint-Germain was a realistic result, succumbing by the same scoreline at home to Benfica has left Allegri under pressure to save his job.

No change will be made before Sunday's away fixture at Monza, opponents who are still searching for their first win since earning promotion to Serie A.

Nevertheless, failure to defeat the division's bottom club would leave Allegri on the brink of being removed from his role in the dugout.

Before his stint with Shakhtar, De Zerbi had enhanced his reputation at Sassuolo, recording 43 wins and 41 defeats from 120 matches in charge.
