Arsenal: Top 5 Unai Emery replacements
4. Massimiliano Allegri
There are few managers that are presently unattached to a football club that can boast to possess the same trophy-laden resume as Massimiliano Allegri. The Italian is a ruthless and proven winner, prolifically successful throughout his managerial career, especially in his latest run as Juventus head coach, a post he resigned from in the summer.
Allegri first won Serie A in the 2010/11 season as AC Milan head coach. In 20 years, AC Milan have only won Serie A twice, once under Carlo Ancelotti and that great Andrea Pirlo-led side, and once under Allegri. In 2014, he then moved to Juventus. He five-straight seasons in Turin, Allegri won five successive league titles, four Coppa Italias, one Supercoppa Italiana, and made the Champions League final twice, falling agonisingly short on both occasions.
There are few managers in world football that have won as many trophies as Allegri over the past decade, and having departed from Juventus in the summer, he is currently out of a job and would not command an extortionate fee. If Arsenal want proven excellence (though it is worth remembering this is why they went for Unai Emery), Allegri is the man for the job.
