Allegri and Arteta leading candidates to become next Arsenal manager

Massimiliano Allegri and Mikel Arteta are the leading contenders to become the next Arsenal manager, Goal understands.

The Gunners are searching for a new head coach to replace outgoing manager Arsene Wenger, whose 22-year reign at the club will come to an end on May 13 following the final Premier League game of the season at Huddersfield Town.

Wenger is not involved in the recruitment process for his replacement and the last time he publicly revealed who he wants as his successor was in 2011, when he said that Dragan Stojkovic, his former player who recently spoke to Goal in an exclusive interview , is the man he would like to take over from him at Emirates Stadium.
