Massimiliano Allegri 'has rejected Tottenham's advances' in another blow to club's hopes of securing a successor for Jose Mourinho... with former Juventus boss 'keen to see if Zinedine Zidane leaves Real Madrid'

Massimiliano Allegri has rejected Tottenham's approach to become their new manager, according to reports in Spain.

The reports come as a blow to the north London club, who are still looking for a permanent successor to Jose Mourinho after the Portuguese was sacked in April following 17 months in charge.

Ryan Mason has been put in temporary charge, with Mourinho having already landed another post after being confirmed as Roma's next manager for the new season.
