Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists there is "no truth at
all" to reports saying he has been approached about taking over at
Juventus.
Juve are in somewhat of a crisis and suffered arguably their
most humiliating night in recent times on Thursday when a 4-1
defeat at Fulham saw them dumped out of the Europa League.
Alberto Zaccheroni replaced the sacked Ciro Ferrara back in
January until the end of the season and, with relations with their
fans at a new low, Juve know they need to bring in a big-name
manager come the summer.
Reports on Sunday suggest Juve director-general Roberto
Bettega broached the subject with Mancini at Craven Cottage but the
former Inter Milan coach insists he is not planning on a swift
return to Italy.
"I was at the stadium on Thursday simply because today we
were meeting Fulham in the league so I wanted to watch the show
there," Mancini was quoted as saying in the Italian press.
"I am honoured that my name has been linked to that of
Juventus but there is no truth at all."
Mancini signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with City
when he moved to the Premier League in December but his deal
reportedly includes a clause allowing both parties to review the
situation at the end of this season.
