Mauricio Pochettino 'has been in talks with Juventus for weeks'

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly been in talks with Juventus for the past few weeks over the vacant manager's role.

The 47-year-old has been strongly linked with the top job at the Allianz Stadium, which has become available following Massimiliano Allegri's announcement last week that he is to step down.

Tuttomercatoweb claims that Pochettino and Juve have been locked in discussions for the best part of a month, and the Argentine coach may ask chairman Daniel Levy for a move away.

Pochettino stunned his bosses last week by admitting that he would consider quitting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if his side win the Champions League.
