Juventus shares rose to the highest level in more than a month on a report that Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola will become coach of the Italian soccer team from the next season.
Guardiola reached a preliminary deal with the club for a four-year contract, Italian newswire AGI reported, without citing anyone. He’ll earn 24 million euros ($26.7 million) a year, it said. A Juventus spokeswoman declined to comment as did City Football Group, the English club’s owner.
