The former World Cup winner with France joins in the week that it is expected Juventus will be relegated from Serie A for their role in the match-fixing scandal that has stunned the world of football.

The 37-year-old, who has managed Monaco to a Champions League final, won three league titles during his playing days with Juventus.

Deschamps, who replaces Fabio Capello in the role, has signed a two-year contract.

Juve's fate, and that of the other clubs involved in the investigations, is set to be revealed later this week.
