The Italian journalist Federico Gennarelli of Radio Sportiva claimed that Manchester City’s Catalan coach Pep Guardiola will be leaving the team and will be the new coach of Juventus who is currently looking for a coach.

This comes as a shock, especially after City became the first team in England’s (men) football history to win both cup competitions and the title of the league in the same season.

Juventus obviously has great plans for the future since the acquisition of the five-time champion league winner Christiano Ronaldo. The coach spot was opened after Max Allegri left Juventus during last week. 

The Italian Journalist Gennarelli had stated on his twitter account that Pep Guardiola will be the new coach of the team Juventus for the next 4 years and that the deal was done. Also, these claims come expected after the reports that the Juventus director Fabio Paratici had met with Guardiola in Milan.

There are photos of Paratici entering the Palazzo Parigi hotel in Milan where Guardiola is staying at the moment, and it was also claimed that the two had a private conversation.
