Massimiliano Allegri: "I want to stay at Juventus"

Massimiliano Allegri plays down talk of a potential switch to England, hinting that he will sign a new contract with Juventus after next week's Champions League final

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has said that he is "proud" of what he has achieved at the club and made clear his desire to remain in place.

The 49-year-old, under contract with the Old Lady until the summer of 2018, is said to have been placed high on Arsenal's list of potential replacements should Arsene Wenger bow out in the coming weeks.

Allegri is not interested in leaving Turin just yet, though, dismissing suggestions that Saturday's trip to Bologna - coming a week ahead of the Champions League final with Real Madrid - could be his last Serie A match at the helm.

"I want to stay at Juventus," he told reporters. "I have a contract until 2018 and need to talk to the club after the Champions League final.

"I am proud of what we have achieved during my three years here. Hopefully we can add another trophy in Cardiff."

Allegri has won three successive Italian top-flight titles during his three years at the helm, as well as three Coppa Italia crowns.
