Former Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo is in talks with Turkey's Fatih Karagumruk.

Sportitalia's Alfredo Pedullà is reporting Pirlo has fielded contact from several clubs, but Karagumruk are currently the favourites and stepping up the process.

The Istanbul-based side already has a strong connection with Italy, as Fabio Borini and Emiliano Viviano are in the squad.

Karagumruk finished last season's Super Lig in eighth place and have ambitions to do better next term.

Pirlo has only one season as a professional coach, at Juventus in the 2020-21 campaign.
