On Saturday, Italian TV channel "SKY" reported that the head coach Didier Deschamps has resigned from his position, which helped Turin's team return to the top-tier Italian "Serie A" division.

The club has not commented on the coach's departure yet.

The former captain of the French national team took over the team in the summer from Fabio Capello and led "Juventus," which was involved in a corruption scandal in Italy and was relegated to the lower "Serie B" league, back to "Serie A."

The 38-year-old strategist, who stated this week that he would like to continue leading the Turin team, spoke with the "Juventus" club management, who praised the Frenchman for his achievements.

There are already rumors in the media about who should take the coaching position at "Juventus," with former Turin team coach and last year's World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi among the candidates.

"SKY" TV claims that D. Deschamps will still manage the team in Saturday's match against "Mantova," where "Juventus" only needs to secure one point to win the "Serie B" championship.

Turin's footballers already secured their way back to "Serie A" last weekend, defeating "Arezzo" with a stunning 5-1 result.

As a player, D. Deschamps won the UEFA Champions League with "Juventus" in 1996, and with the French national team, he won the World Cup in 1998 and became European champion two years later.

He began his coaching career in his homeland and in 2004, led a team to the UEFA Champions League final, where they were defeated 3-0 by a team from Portugal coached by Jose Mourinho.
