Guus Hiddink To Become New Coach Of Juventus On January 2 -
Report
Fresh reports around the peninsula claim Juventus have
reached an agreement with Hiddink, just a week after the club publicly announced
there was never any contact with him...
Ciro Ferrara's reign as Juventus coach
could come to an abrupt and premature end by January as Guus Hiddink prepares
for an arrival at Vinovo.
According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, the return of Roberto Bettega at
the club has paved the way for Hiddink to come in and replace the underfire
Ferrara.
The report suggests Bettega has
already opened up dialogue with Hiddink and the two men have reached a consensus
so he can join the club officially on January 2 - when the Italian transfer
market re-opens for business.
It means
Hiddink's first game in charge will be against Parma on January 6, before he
welcomes Milan to the Stadio Olimpico four days later.
The vice general director has been hard at work trying to
understand where Juve have been going wrong, and he has designed a number of
action plans that he hopes will cure the problem.
Despite the report, Juventus have always confirmed their faith
in Ciro Ferrara, even denying they were in contact with Hiddink last week.
But Bettega's arrival appears to have
resparked the speculation surrounding the Italian's future.
