Roberto Mancini has revealed Juventus did not approach him regarding their coaching position, which has been taken by Max Allegri.
Antonio Conte’s shock departure from the Old Lady hot-seat yesterday evening briefly left a vacant position, which has now been filled by the former Milan boss.
“Juve never pursued me, maybe I cost too much!” Mancini is quoted as saying by La Repubblica.
“It’s [Conte leaving] difficult to judge from the outside. The only thing that could be a problem is that the team were at the training camp with him.
“Conte had been coaching them for three years and he knew what the problems could be.”
Mancini added that he had no doubt Conte would soon be able to find a new club and also expressed his belief that Juve would move on without their successful Coach.
“I was working abroad for many years and there are a lot of opportunities. Juve are a big club, like Milan, Inter and Napoli, who can win.”
Finally, the former Inter boss passed comment on his expectations of the Nerazzurri this season.
“The future will depend on the players that they sign, it seems to be more of a long term project. I hope Inter can fight for the Scudetto.”
