Juventus president Andrea Agnelli is being wait upon to give the go-ahead for the new gaffer after Antonio Conte on Tuesday announce his departure from the club.

Conte guided the Turin side to three consecutive Serie A titles after taking over in the summer of 2011, but announced his resignation having grown frustrated with club over their transfer policy.
