Deschamps to quit the Olad Lady of Turin?
There are unconfirmed reports that claim that Juventus Coach Didier Deschamps has resigned.

Deschamps took the Bianconeri to promotion despite a nine-point penalty, but has reportedly clashed with director of sport Alessio Secco, disagreeing over transfer policies.

World Cup winning Italy boss Marcello Lippi is potential candidate, although French newspaper ‘L’Equipe’ insists he is in fact challenging Deschamps for the role of Coach at Lyon following Gerard Houllier’s resignation.
