Amid Chelsea interest in Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri the Serie A giants are considering a move for Paulo Sousa of Fiorentina or Sassuolo coach Eusebio Di Francesco.
It is not only the former AC Milan man being shortlisted by the Blues to replace interim boss Guus Hiddink; Italian national coach Antonio Conte is another target for a summer move.
Gazzetta dello Sport report that tensions have arisen at the Gigliati in recent weeks despite Sousa’s strong start in Tuscany with the Portuguese tactician unable to dismiss a potential exit to a fifth new job in as many seasons.
Meanwhile Italian Di Francesco has been at the forefront of Sassuolo’s impeccable rise through the divisions, currently maintaining a strong challenge to the top-half of Serie A.
It is believed that Chelsea can offer the current Juve coach a four-year deal worth €10 million a season.
