Former midfielder Antonio Conte will be named as the new Juventus coach, club president Andrea Agnelli told reporters.

"We want to succeed and we want to do it with Antonio Conte. He is the first piece in the jigsaw to return to winning ways," Agnelli said. Once mighty Juventus, which finished seventh in Serie A for a second straight season, sacked Luigi Del Neri last season after just one term in charge and has turned to the Siena coach to try to revitalize the club.
