Juventus is considering Zinedine Zidane as a possible replacement for Massimiliano Allegri should he fail to win the Champions League crown.

According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Allegri will leave the club if they fail to win the Champions. Additionally, they have added that Zidane is their first choice to replace the Italian manager.
