Arsenal news: Is this the big clue Massimiliano Allegri is set to replace Arsene Wenger?
JUVENTUS boss Massimiliano Allegri is taking English lessons ahead of a potential move to the Premier League.
Express Sport understands Allegri could quit Juventus at the end of the season with the Serie A champions considering Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane as his replacement.
Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in securing the Italian’s services.
Arsene Wenger faces an uncertain future at Arsenal after a poor domestic campaign while Antonio Conte is certain to be sacked by Chelsea.
According to The Sun on Sunday, Allegri favours the task of rebuilding the Gunners.
Wenger has another season left on his contract but it is claimed Allegri is working overtime with a private tutor to master the English language.
The 50-year-old has admitted he is likely to leave Juventus sooner rather than later.
“Certainly I will go abroad,” he told the Telegraph. “In Italy, finished.”
Allegri took charge of Juventus in 2014 and guided the club to the Serie A and Coppa Italia double in the last three seasons.
He is on course to repeat the feat again but the Champions League has proved a tough nut to crack.

Juventus reached the final in his maiden campaign and last term but they suffered defeats to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.
Despite the mounting speculation, Allegri has dismissed the possibility of leaving the Turin-based club this summer for the Premier League.
Asked last month if he was preparing for a move to England, he said: “No, because I have a contract until 2020.”
