"Juventus" dismissed coach Delneri © EuroFootball.com

The Turin club has refused the services of head coach Luigi Delneri. The Italian, who has been working for just a year, will leave after the last match of the season on Sunday.

"The management informed me of their decision this week," confirmed the specialist. "I hope they have made the right decision and I wish good luck to my successor.

I did everything I could, but Juventus could not wait for gradual improvement. Personally, I would have stayed for at least another year, but life goes on. One door closes, another one opens."

For the second consecutive season, the Turin team is disappointing their fans and currently holds only seventh place in the Italian championship, with only a chance to qualify for the UEFA Europa League.

It is said that the most likely candidate to take over the reins of Juventus is former club defender Antonio Conte, who coached the "Siena" team this season and secured promotion to Serie A. This news should be officially confirmed on Monday.
