Juventus failed to land any major players during the transfer window, but they could be in for a managerial shake-up with Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez being the latest name to be linked with the Turin-based giants.
The Bianconeri's three-match winless streak has began to annoy directors at the club as hopes of a Scudetto are fading into the thin, cold air at their Vinovo base.Chief executive Jean Claude Blanc has already pointed the finger of blame at everyone for the lack of positive results, and Claudio Ranieri could be the next in line to come under the microscope.
Il Giornale sensationally claims Juve are considering bringing in Benitez if things continue to get worse in the league. The Bianconeri chiefs cannot accept another season without silverware and they could be prepared to chop and change.
It will not be easy to land the Spanish coach, but his turbulent relationship with Liverpool's owners as well as his recent outbursts in the Premier League have not gone down too well at Anfield, fuelling speculation that he could move if Juve offered the right deal.
The Champions League is what Juventus want most, and Benitez has proven himself repeatedly in the competition; winning it in 2005 and then reaching the final in 2007.
Ranieri's constant tinkering as well as an inclement injury situation have cost Juventus points this season. The coach made some rash decisions in the fixture again Cagliari, and these backfired.
Reports suggest a move for Benitez could take off in the summer and, unless things change, Ranieri's days at the club could be numbered.
