Juventus consider ex-defender Montero as Primavera coach – report

Juventus are considering former defender Paolo Montero as their new Primavera coach, according to reports in Italy.

Andrea Bonatti left his post as Juve’s Primavera manager earlier this month and the Bianconeri have yet to make a decision on a replacement.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports the club are considering a move for Montero, who spent nine seasons in Turin as a player.

The move would represent the former Uruguay international’s second managerial spell in Italy, having been in charge at Serie C side Sambenedettese on two separate spells.

Montero has also been manager of Boca Unidos, Colon, Rosario Central and most recently San Lorenzo – all in Argentina.

As a player, he was regarded a tough-tackling defender. He joined Juve in 1996 – after won the Champions League – and was a defeated finalist in the next two editions.

He won the UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup as well as Serie A on four occasions.
