Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is set to replace his compatriot, Antonio Conte, who is expected to quit Chelsea at the end of the season.

According to Sun UK, the 50-year-old has already expressed his resolve to quit Italian football for a career abroad, preferably in England.

He was initially tipped to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal before the club’s board extended the manager’s contract last year.

Allegri, who is said to be learning English already, said of his plans: “Certainly I’ll go abroad. In Italy, finished.”

“Probably I would like to carry on being a club coach for another five of six years, then I would like to coach a national team,” Allegri further told the Daily Telegraph.

Conte has been at loggerheads with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy for a while over the club’s transfer policy and is expected to part ways with the club at season’s end.
