Juve get their Man and it isn't Benitez

Juventus have turned to Luigi Del Neri as their new coach after finishing a disappointing seventh in Serie A.

There had been much speculation that Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez could have been heading to the Turin outfit.

But 59-year-old Del Neri quit Sampdoria on Monday to take up the reins at Juve after leading the Genoa club to a Champions League qualifying berth.

On Wednesday Benitez told Spanish newspaper AS: "I've four years left on my contract. I'm very happy there."

Juventus sacked former player Ciro Ferrara as their coach in January, appointing Alberto Zaccheroni as interim boss.

But, in the closing months of the season, they were repeatedly linked with Benitez, whose Liverpool had a largely forgettable campaign, finishing seventh in the Premier League.

Apparently Inter want Rafa now who they want to replace Madrid bound Moureen.

I heard Qatar and Tajikistan want him too, and Boy George

AC Milan are also looking for a new coach. How ironic it would be if he ended up there after Istanbul 2005.

El_Nino do you want to keep Benitez?

I'd say give him one more season and see what happens... but if he left i wouldn't be to fused.

But he really needs to learn not to be so stubborn

As a United fan I'll be delighted if Benitez and Mancini are still at Liverpool and City next season!

I've never understood how Liverpool fans have remained so patient with Benitez, he has been dining out on the CL win for five years now and for me has not improved Liverpool in his time at the club
