Alberto Zaccheroni is the new Juventus coach after signing a contract that will tie him to the club until the end of the season.

Zaccheroni and Bianconeri directors Roberto Bettega, Alessio Secco, club president Jean-Claude Blanc and a team of lawyers met in Turin to tie up the deal according to Sky Sport Italia and several other Italian news agencies.

An official announcement is expected in the afternoon before the new man takes his first training session at 15:00CET. He will then be unveiled to the press following that.

Ciro Ferrara is not expected at Vinovo as the axe falls on him. The club are currently working on his contract resolution and will inform him of their decision later.

Zaccheroni is expected to lead the team until June when Juve will execute plans to bring in Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez on a permanent basis.
