Pep Guardiola has, according to reports in the Italian media, agreed to join Juventus on a 4-year deal. Massimiliano Allegri vacated the manager post at Juventus, and it took no time for media outlets to link the Spaniard with the job.

Guardiola had earlier dismissed rumours linking him with Juventus. After Manchester City beat Watford 3-1, Pep said,

"One guy says something on Twitter and everybody puts it on their pages - Pep is going to Juventus."
"I don't understand why before they say it, they don't try to call the club, or me, or my agent or Juventus.
"I have two more years and I am not going to move. It is impossible unless they sack me.
"If Man City want me, I will stay for two more years and hopefully another one. I am not going to go to Juventus for the next two seasons."

The latest report claims that Pep will join Juventus on June 4th.
