Daniele Pochettino told Tutto Juve: 'In my opinion [Pochettino replacing Allegri] could be feasible, because Mauricio is a coach who has shown he knows how to work well and reaching the final with Tottenham is a clear example,'
'If he plays it like he does all games, for me it's the right year to win. I met him a few months ago, I met a very nice and helpful person.
'The Bianconeri's goal is, of course, the Champions League and my cousin has all the useful qualities to be able to coach this club.
'Mauricio showed he had the right experience to be able to coach in Europe. With Tottenham he was able to forge a group of individuals that was not so well known.
