- Reports from Italy claim that Ronaldo has asked the board to employ Mourinho

- Max Allegri left the Biaconeri at the of the season after five-years with the Turin giants

Cristiano Ronaldo has surprisingly asked Juventus to employ his fellow countryman Jose Mourinho, reports in Italy claim.

Massimilliano Allegri ended his five-year spell with the Biaconeri following their 1-1 draw against Atlanta on the last day of the season.

And with the departure of the Italian gaffer, there will be no shortage of candidates applying for the vacant managerial position at the Allianz Stadium.

Italian news media outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed that Ronaldo has asked Juve's board to get the services of Mourinho.

It is understood that the former Manchester United manager could be tempted by offer - having being guaranteed a Serie A title and a strong contender for a Champions League berth.

Mourinho has a track record in winning European cup competitions which has eluded Juventus in the last 13 years.

La Gazzetta notes that: “Two parties are pressing Juventus to take on José Mourinho as their new coach. One, logically, is his representative Jorge Mendes and the other appears to be Cristiano Ronaldo."

Meanwhile, TUKO. had earlier reported that Ronaldo was rewarded with the Serie A best player in his debut season but suffered an awkward moment with the trophy.

The Portugal international scored a remarkable 21 goals and registered eight assists in 31 appearances to help Juventus win the Scudetto for the eighth time in a row.
