Juventus manager rebuffs Chelsea link

 

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has rejected suggestions he is on the verge of becoming the next Chelsea manager.

 

Reports had emerged suggesting Allegri had agreed a deal in principle to replace Guus Hiddink at the end of the season.

 

The Juventus manager steered the club to their fourth straight Serie A title in his maiden campaign last season, as well as the Champions League final, but he insists the stories linking him to the Chelsea hot seat are utter rubbish.

 

“There’s nothing to it [Chelsea job]. I cannot either confirm nor deny something that doesn’t exist,” Allegri told Sky Italy.

 

“I want this matter over and done with now. What’s important for me right now is to get to the end of the season with Juventus and try and win some silverware.”

Juventus are now within three league games of equalling a Serie A record set by Inter in 2011 of winning 17 straight league matches.
