Chelsea 'Nailed On' to Hire Massimiliano Allegri After Being Forced to Shelve Luis Enrique Plans

Massimiliano Allegri will be the man to take over from Antonio Conte as new Chelsea manager next season after the reigning Premier League champions failed to convince former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique to take the plunge and test himself in England.

That is the latest gossip on the much talked about subject from the Daily Star, with claims that Enrique, who is also apparently the primary target to replace Unai Emery at Paris Saint-Germain, refused to give Chelsea enough of a commitment.

Speculation that Allegri could be on his way to west London in summer emerged earlier this week, but the Star's report is much more confident that it is going to happen.
