Massimiliano Allegri has denied rumours linking him with Chelsea
Allergri has become one of Europe's most coveted managers following a successful first season in charge of Juventus, where he guided the club to the league title, Coppa Italia, and Champions League final.
The Italian is now on a shortlist of contenders to replace Guus Hiddink at Stamford Bridge this summer.
And he has reportedly been taking English lessons to prepare himself for the Premier League after agreeing a move to the Blues.
"I want this story to be over and done with now. I've been studying English since my time at Cagliari. I do it for me.
“I cannot confirm or deny something that just isn’t true. We want to focus and reach the end of the season with a trophy.”
However Express Sport understands that Juve have already begun looking at replacements for Allegri and want Manuel Pellegrini to take over.
