Ivan Juric has stated that he would quit Torino this summer if the club fails to qualify for Europe, but despite interest from Southampton and Nottingham Forest, he is unlikely to want to transfer to the Premier League.
His contract with the Granata only lasts until the conclusion of the current season, and it is apparent that tensions between the Croatian and the directors are rising.
Fans and Turin-based media are also turning against him, while the majority of their ire remains directed at President Urbano Cairo for neglecting to fund reinforcements.
Juric was previously widely linked with a Premier League move last year, when Southampton and Nottingham Forest sought him.
However, the contract release provision rendered him too expensive to buy out of the arrangement, so they looked into other options.
The fact that Juric may leave Torino this summer does not always imply that England will be his next destination, since the Croatian has a long history and tight tie with Italy.
He originally moved there as a Crotone player in 2001, then to Genoa in 2006, where he retired in 2010.
Juric studied the coaching art under mentor Gian Piero Gasperini before venturing out on his own in 2014, first at Mantova, then Crotone, Genoa, Verona, and Torino.
It would take a stunning offer to get the 48-year-old to leave the nation where he has lived for over 20 years.
Juric also employs a highly unique tactical strategy that may not be effective in England, relying on a three-man defence, a high press, and well practiced moves.
