(GSM) – Juventus are planning to completely change the structure of the club.
Tuttosport reports Marcello Lippi will become the new president in October and Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli will take over the reigns from current coach Alberto Zaccheroni.
Juventus has a disastrous season and is already knocked out of the Champions League and the Coppa Italia. They currently lie seventh in Serie A.
Coach Ciro Ferrara was sacked after the poor results and it’s rumoured that club president Jean-Claude Blanc will also leave the club, after the season.
Current coach Zaccheroni only has a contract until the end of the season and several managers have been linked with a move to the Bianconeri.
One of them is current Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli. He has also been inked with a move to the Italy national team after the departure of Marcello Lippi, due by the end of the World Cup 2010 campaign.
Prandelli has been in charge of Fiorentina since 2005. The 52-year-old coach has gained praise for his work with La Viola, despite the lack of trophies.
Fiorentina doesn’t want to lose their manager. Club owner Diego Della Valle said: “If it were to depend on us, he would stay for years.”
However, Tuttosport believes Prandelli is looking for a new challenge after five years in Tuscany. He is also said to have been far from indifferent when approached by Juventus through a third party.
