Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has emerged as a surprise target for Serie A champions Juventus.
According to a UK Sun report citing Italian newspaper Tuttosport, the Frenchman, who had a spell at the Turin-based outfit, is being considered to for the position of CEO when incumbent chief, Beppe Marotta leaves the post in November.
The 46-year-old Frenchman is repeatedly, linked with the Manchester United's hot-seat, following the Red Devils poor star to the new campaign.
And the latest move from Juventus, could further add more pressure on Man United chiefs, who are keen on landing the former World Cup winner.
Interestingly, SunSport, reported that the former Real Madrid boss had informed Mourinho that he was not interested in taking his job at Old Trafford despite underground moves.
At the last count, Zidane won two Serie A titles and the Ballon d'Or in his five seasons at Juventus and is likely to opt for a reunion with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.
At the moment, the Italian champions, who are in the hunt for their fifth-successive Serie A and Coppa Italia double are still under the tutelage of Massimiliano Allegri.
