The Sun claims that Juventus Coach Max Allegri is the first choice to take over at Chelsea next season.
This is certainly not the first time that Allegri has been linked with the Stamford Bridge job, left vacant after Jose Mourinho’s dismissal.
Allegri also made no secret of his desire to one day work in the Premier League.
According to SunSport, Chelsea put the Italian top of their wish-list and have contacted him to discuss next season, offering up to £6m per season – double his current wages in Turin.

However, Allegri is under contract with Juventus until June 2017 and director Beppe Marotta repeatedly noted there was no intention of interrupting this rapport early.
Allegri was met with cynicism and even consternation when he replaced popular Antonio Conte in 2014, two days after pre-season training had already begun.
He won the naysayers over by taking Juve to a fourth consecutive Scudetto, the Coppa Italia and above all the Champions League Final.
