Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admits he's interested in the Juventus job.

Mancini has been linked with the Juve post after Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli committed to the Florence club this week.

"I'm ready to go back, if and when there will be a possibility," Mancini told La Nazione.

"As for Juventus - Juve is always Juve. They are going through a difficult period right now but we are talking about a club with history and prestige, made up of many victories.

"I am considered an enemy for my past at Inter Milan, but I want to reiterate that controversies of the past were personal and related to certain individuals, and I have said many times that I was a Juventus fan when I was a child.

"How near I am to a return to Italy I don't know, football is strange. It was probably right for me to broaden my horizons, but I will return sooner or later."
