Arsenal target Massimiliano Allegri rules out move 'unless Juventus sack me'

Massimiliano Allegri is planning for next season with Juventus after appearing to rule out a summer move to Arsenal.

Allegri is high up on the Gunners' longlist of candidates to replace Arsene Wenger and on Sunday sealed Juve's seventh straight Serie A title with a 0-0 draw at Roma.

Chelsea have also been linked with the Juventus boss, but speaking at the Stadio Olimpico Allegri said he plans to oversee a fifth season at the club.

Allegri explained: "If they don't fire me, then I think I'm staying at Juventus next year too."

Juve have now won league and cup doubles in each of their four seasons under Allegri, something the coach said was "unlikely to be repeated".

The 50-year-old, who has twice led Juve to the Champions League final in that time, immediately turned his attention to defending the Serie A crown in 2018/19 campaign.

"It's not an issue of decisions on the future, it's about planning what the future of Juventus will be, because once we've finished celebrating, we have to sit around a table with clear heads," added Allegri.

"When the next season begins, we all start from zero points and must continue proving we are competitive."
