Deschamps wants Juve job even if relegated

FORMER France captain Didier Deschamps is optimistic of coaching Serie A champions Juventus next season even if the club were to be relegated from the top flight as a result of the match-fixing scandal which has rocked Italian football.

The 1998 World Cup winner, who has been out of work since leaving French side Monaco last season, met with Juventus bosses last week to discuss a possible return to the club where he played between 1995 and 1998.

“I’m not used to making a journey for nothing. I told them that Juve’s sporting plans interested me even if the club are relegated to Serie B,”
