Arsenal? Chelsea? Juventus boss Allegri drops hint on eve of Real Madrid clash
MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI has dropped a hint that he will manage abroad when he leaves Juventus which will put Arsenal and Chelsea on alert.
Massimiliano Allegri
Arsenal are looking to replace Arsene Wenger, who is expected to leave at the end of the season after a miserable campaign.
The Frenchman initially signed a new two-year deal last summer, but he looks set to miss out on Champions League football once again.
A handful of potential replacements have been mooted including former Borussia Dortmund boss Julian Nagelsmann, who has been endorsed by the Gunners’ new head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat.
Reports last month suggested the north London outfit took a liking to Allegri and the “collective spirit” his side showed after he masterminded Juventus’ last-16 win over Tottenham at Wembley.
Certainly I will go abroad. In Italy, finished
Across the capital, Antonio Conte’s future at Chelsea appears increasingly bleak.
The Italian tactician saw his side slump to their first defeat at Stamford Bridge against Spurs on Sunday in 28 years, leaving their top-four hopes in tatters.
Former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has been discussed as a potential target, while Allegri’s name has popped up.
And Allegri, who is closing in on a seventh Serie A triumph in a row, has intimated he wants to manage abroad after quitting Juve.

“Certainly I will go abroad," he told the Daily Telegraph.
“In Italy, finished."
Allegri meanwhile, is preparing his side for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid, a repeat of last year’s final when they lost 4-1 to the La Liga giants.
