Arsenal and Tottenham could be part of a managerial merry-go-round this summer as they look to swoop top Serie A bosses for Arsene Wenger and Mauricio Pochettino, reportsGazzetta dello Sport.
The north London rivals could undergo huge managerial changes in the summer with Arsenal under pressure from fans complaining about Wenger's under performing, meanwhile Tottenham will have to defend advances from Barcelona who are reported to be looking at Pochettino as a replacement for Luis Enrique.
Wenger has an uncertain future ahead of him with the Gunners' fans becoming more impatient with Arsenal's inconsistent form and the ˜Wenger Out' chants have been increasing considerably in the last few weeks.
But while Wenger has been facing turmoil, Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has been impressing in the Serie A winning seven managerial honours including two Serie A titles and a Champions League runner-up medal, during stints with Milan and Juventus.
Gazzetta reported: The coach of Juventus, who for months has been studying English, would seem to be the perfect profile for Arsenal.
Allegri's future could be in England, but in the race to the bench of the Gunners there are other candidates, including (Unai) Emery, now at PSG.�
Just over the other side of north London, Tottenham could have to prepare a defence against Barcelona from acquiring Pochettino's services.
Luis Enrique's imminent departure could set off a chain reaction which sees the Spurs boss move to Spain however Jorge Sampaoli, Ernesto Valverde, Ronald Koeman and even Allegri himself have been linked with the role.
Roma manager Luciano Spalletti has been tipped to potentially replace Pochettino should he decide to make a move to the Nou Camp.
Spalletti has been impressive so far with his second stint in charge of Roma who currently sit one point behind league leaders Juventus and with the Italian winning 10 out of the last 11 league games it will not be an easy title win for the reining Champions.
Gazzetta continued in their report: Spalletti has always been tempted by the idea of working in England: Tottenham facilities, resources and ambitions in line with its aspirations.
With Spalletti at Tottenham and Allegri at Arsenal, the London derby would have two Italian managers on the two benches. Rounding out the magic circle in London, Antonio Conte and Chelsea, Walter Mazzarri and Watford.�
