Real Madrid have chosen between Mauricio Pochettino and Massimiliano Allegri - Inda
REAL MADRID have made Massimiliano Allegri their No 1 choice to replace Santiago Solari over Mauricio Pochettino, Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda has claimed.
But Spurs dug in and refused to let the Argentine go.
Pochettino has since been linked with the Manchester United job, with the Red Devils eager to lure him to Old Trafford as Jose Mourinho’s permanent successor.
And Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda has claimed Pochettino is no longer Real’s No 1 target.
Instead, they have firmly set their sights on Juventus boss Allegri.
"Massimiliano Allegri is the coach he wanted last summer and who wants next summer,” Inda said.

“He is a coach with whom he spoke personally last summer and called him on the phone.
“Pochettino is going to be impossible because Levy does not release him and he has a contract.”
Allegri, however, recently insisted he was happy at Juventus.
"I have a contract with Juventus and I am happy here,” he said.
"We are doing a great job together with the fans.
