Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino favourite for Juventus after Maurizio Sarri sacking

Juventus are on the hunt for a new manager for the second year in a row after sacking Maurizio Sarri in the aftermath of their Champions League exit.

The Italian giants defeated Lyon 2-1 on Friday night in the second-leg of their Round of 16 clash but, having lost 1-0 in the reverse leg prior to the season's suspension, exited the competition on away goals.

Sarri had led Juventus to another Serie A title, finishing a single point ahead of Inter Milan, but that achievement was not enough to stop the axe from falling.

He lasted just a year with the Italian giants after departing Chelsea following the Blues' Europa League victory and it leaves Juventus looking for a new manager for the second year in a row.

Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has quickly been established as the bookies' favourite to take the reigns in Turin, with PaddyPower giving him a price of 13/8.

Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi, who led the club to a top-four finish, is second in the running at 9/4, while Massimiliano Allegri is 9/2 to return to the club where he enjoyed unprecedented success.

Atalanta's Gian Piero Gasperini, Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane and Manchester City boss are all priced at 14/1, while Antonio Conte is 20/1 to take the reigns.
