MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI has begun to learn English as he prepares for approaches from Chelsea and Manchester United, according to reports.
The Juventus boss, who has just 18 months left on his contract in Turin, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League.
And the Daily Mirror claim the Italian has set his sights on the top job at either Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford.
Allegri won Serie A with AC Milan in 2010-2011, his debut season with Milan, and has been hugely successful since taking over at Juventus.
He led them to a treble and the Champions League final in his first campaign in charge last year, earning him a nomination for FIFA’s World Coach of the Year award.
And he could be ready for a new challenge next summer, with Chelsea already known to be looking for a new manager.
Blues owner Roman Abramovich has put the 48-year-old on his short-list of potential candidates to take over from interim boss Guus Hiddink next summer.
Abramovich fears Pep Guardiola has already made up his mind to move to Manchester City in the summer after announcing he will leave Bayern Munich.
And although Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is also on Chelsea’s wanted list, Allegri looks set to be sounded out for the role.
