Allegri keen on Premier League

LONDON • Former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has expressed his desire to manage a club in the Premier League, saying he is improving his English language skills and looking for a fresh challenge.

The Italian, who has been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal in the British media, has been without a club since leaving Juventus at the end of the 2018-19 season.

The 53-year-old guided Juventus to five consecutive Serie A titles, adding to his first top-flight title triumph with AC Milan in 2011.
