Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly a target for Real Madrid if they sack Zinedine Zidane this summer.

Los Merengues appointed the Frenchman as Rafa Benitez’s replacement in January, but a defeat at home to city rivals Atletico Madrid has all-but eliminated them from the title race.

Any hope of silverware now lies with the Champions League, where Zidane’s side hold a 2-0 lead over Roma going into the second leg of their Last 16 tie.

Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly a target for Real Madrid if they sack Zinedine Zidane this summer.

Los Merengues appointed the Frenchman as Rafa Benitez’s replacement in January, but a defeat at home to city rivals Atletico Madrid has all-but eliminated them from the title race.

Any hope of silverware now lies with the Champions League, where Zidane’s side hold a 2-0 lead over Roma going into the second leg of their Last 16 tie.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that if Zidane fails to impress on the European stage, Madrid President Florentino Perez will look for a replacement this summer.

The newspaper believes that Juventus boss Max Allegri is one of the names in the frame, having impressed Perez when the Bianconeri eliminated Madrid in last-year’s semi-final.

The Blancos patron has reportedly sought the advice of Milan’s joint-CEO Adriano Galliani, who spoke of the Tuscan tactician in glowing terms.

Allegri has also been linked with the Chelsea job, but it’s believed the Old Lady are lining-up a new contract to keep the Coach in Turin.
