The head coach of Turin's club, which competes in the lower "Serie B" league in Italy, Didier Deschamps, admitted that he may leave his current position if the team manages to earn the right to play again in the country's top "Serie A" division next year.
"I'm not thinking about next season. I came to Turin to bring 'Juventus' back to 'Serie A'. I have a valid contract for one more year, but that doesn't mean anything yet," said the specialist from France.
In summer, "Juventus" was involved in a corruption scandal which led to their relegation from "Serie A" to "Serie B", starting the championship with a 30-point deficit, which was later reduced to 9 due to an appeal.
Deschamps took over the reins of the "Juventus" team in the summer from Fabio Capello, who currently coaches the eleven of Real Madrid in Spain, and halfway through the lower league championship, the team rose to the first place in the league table, leading the closest pursuers, the "Mantova" footballers, by three points.
Despite everything, losses were suffered in two matches against the outsiders "Arezzo" and "Vicenza" with a score of 2-0, and precisely because of this, the question arose about who should replace the former legendary French national team defender next season.
"This week was very difficult for us because the team didn't calm down. Today (Saturday) we managed to concentrate a bit on the task at hand and defeated the 'Crotone' team," Deschamps said after a crushing 5-0 victory. "Many people may think that 'Juventus' should have no problems in the 'Serie B' championship, but as we can see, reality is quite different."
If on Sunday, Napoli, currently in third place, fails to defeat "Arezzo", the Turin club will retain the first place and remain the leader of the championship."
