Juventus are still searching for its next head coach, with big names like Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini no longer in the running.

Among the candidates according to Calciomercato, considered by Juventus is Marco Silva, the current manager of Fulham.

Under his guidance, Fulham finished eleventh in the Premier League this season, achieving the club’s highest-ever points total in the competition. In previous seasons, Silva led Fulham to tenth and thirteenth place finishes, and in his first year, he guided the team to promotion by winning the Championship.

He is known for favouring a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on both attractive attacking football and solid defensive organization.
