The Frenchman who has been in charge of the Gunners for more than 20 years, is under huge pressure following Arsenal's inconsistent performances this season, with the team poised to bow out of the Champions League after a 5-1 thrashing by Bayern Munich in the first leg of their round of 16 clash.
The North London side are also in danger of missing out on Europe's premier competition next season as they currently find themselves placed fifth with 50 points, two behind Liverpool who are in fourth.
The 49-year-old who has led Juventus to two consecutive Serie A titles, has ruled himself out of the running for the post.
"I repeat what I have already said before “ it's not true.The second thing, even if there was something in it, the first to know and learn my wish to leave would be Juventus ¦ I'm contracted until 2018. I'm not the one to decide my future “ Juventus will. It is they who decide because it's the way I work and have worked previously",Allegri said, asquoted by Goal.
"When time passes, as we did last year, we will evaluate what to do.And if these rumours were true, Juventus would be the first to know and I haven't talked to Juventus yet", the Italian added.
