Juventus are reconsidering their approach for Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez and they could turn to England boss Fabio Capello instead, according to La Stampa.
The Bianconeri have been hot on Benitez's tail, with reports on Friday claiming that they have struck an agreement with the Reds manager and that president Jean-Claude Blanc would fly to Liverpool next week to close the deal.
But fresh reports now indicate that the Old Lady have had second thoughts about Benitez. The €18 million in three years to pay him and his staff has raised eyebrows at Vinovo. It is said the Spanish coach is asking for double what he earns at Anfield, but Juve are not prepared to stretch their budget that far.
Bringing in Capello would cost €16 million for two years, but the Italians argue they would have the best coach in the world. However, the former Juventus man is tied down with England until 2012, but he has a get-out clause that he could use after the World Cup.
In any case, Juve are likely to stick with the Spaniard as first choice, but should the move break down, a new deal for Capello could be sparked into life.
