Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis' first choice to replace Arsene Wenger.
According to David Woods of the Daily Star, Gazidis was "blown away" with Allegri after he engineered Juventus' comeback against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League. His side fought from 1-0 down in the second leg to win 2-1 and progress with an aggregate score of 4-3.
Gazidis was also impressed with "the strong, collective spirit" Allegri's side displayed at Wembley Stadium, and the Italian has been learning English over the last 12 months.
