Massimiliano Allegri has told Sky Sport Italia, as related by Football Italia, that he has not made a decision on his future, amid speculation linking him with Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur.

The Times reported this month that Leeds have approached Allegri to potentially replace Marcelo Bielsa, who is out of contract at the Premier League club at the end of the season and has yet to put pen to paper on a new deal.

90min has claimed that agents close to Allegri have ‘intimated interest’ in becoming the new head coach of Tottenham, who could replace Jose Mourinho if the team do not finish in the top four.

Allegri has told Sky Sport Italia, as related by Football Italia, when asked about his future: “I don’t know anything yet, honestly. I don’t get to watch many games when I’m working, but after a year of not watching them, I have started to get back into it.”

Blockbuster managerial appointment

Mourinho is one of the greatest managers of all time and is a blockbuster boss, and Allegri would be of that ilk.

Bielsa is a legend already at Leeds, and if the Argentine leaves at the end of the season, then Allegri would be a stunning replacement.

The Italian is one of the best in the business and is a serial winner, having won Serie A once with AC Milan and five times with Juventus.
