(GSM) – Serie A giants Juventus have denied reports suggesting that the troubled club have approached Dutch coach Guus Hiddink as an ideal replacement for coach Ciro Ferrara.
The former PSV and Chelsea manager is set to become a free agent once his contract as head coach of Russia’s national team expires next summer, fueling rumours that he could head to Turin.
But it now appears, that Juventus have made it clear, through a statement on their official site, that they are not looking to replace Ferrara.
A statement from Juventus read: “Juventus denies reports coming from England of a possible interest for Guus Hiddink. The club has never considered any other coach because Ciro Ferrara has our full backing and is at the centre of our sporting project.”
The Italian club have been struggling of late, slipping to third place in Serie A and getting knocked out of the UEFA Champions League earlier this month after a 4-1 humiliation by Bayern Munich
