Vincenzo Montella rules out managing Juventus if the job becomes vacant, but would consider taking on the position of Italy boss.

Sevilla manager Vincenzo Montella has indicated that he would be open to managing the Italy national side, but has rejected links to the Juventus job.

The 43-year-old's reputation has skyrocketed after masterminding Los Rojiblancos' 2-1 win over Manchester United in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Montella, only appointed by Sevilla in December following the sacking of Eduardo Berizzo, has described taking on the vacant Italy position as a "dream" job.

"It's a dream for any coach to coach their national team," he told Rai. "I don't know what would happen if they approached me. I feel good in Seville and I've got another year on my contract.

"Would I go to Juventus? No. They have a great coach and [Massimiliano] Allegri will be there for a while because he's doing a great job."

Montella was not named on the Italian Football Federation's three-man shortlist, which is topped by Chelsea's Antonio Conte.
