Potential Wenger replacement Allegri took English lessons

Potential Wenger replacement Allegri took English lessons

Potential Arsenal managerial prospect Max Allegri has answered questions about his English.

The Juventus Coach was speaking to the press after a 4-1 humbling of Palermo in Serie A action last night.

Asked about the possibility of moving to the Gunners to replace the ailing Arsene Wenger, the Tuscan Coach answered: “My English? I started learning it before I joined AC Milan, now I've stopped.

He was typically coy about the prospect of moving to the Etihad stadium: “They say I'll go to Arsenal? You all say that, I just listen."

Arsenal are coming off a very successful Serie A stint, hammering Palermo last night to extend their lead to ten points, with chasers Roma and Napoli still having a game in hand.

As the Mirror confirm, the former Milan man has the shortest odds to succeed Wenger, whose Arsenal side was hammered 5-1 on Wednesday night by Bayern Munich, the second time such a humiliating reverse has been inflicted on the Gunners at the Allianz Arena.
