Allegri would give Arsenal 'something special' like Guardiola & Conte, says Lemina

Massimiliano Allegri will bring 'something special' to the Premier League if he is appointed as Arsenal's new boss, Southampton's Mario Lemina has said.

Arsene Wenger is set to move on from the Emirates at the end of the season and Allegri's is a name which features often in the list of possible replacements, alongside a handful of others.

Big names such as former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, Carlo Ancelotti and even Jurgen Klopp's right hand man Zeljko Buvac have also been touted, but Lemina, who played under Allegri for two seasons at Juventus, feels the Italian boss is on par with managerial greats such as Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte.
