Massimiliano Allegri would consider approach by Tottenham for managerial role
According to the Evening Standard, former AC Milan and Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri would consider any approach made by Tottenham Hotspur for the manager’s job.
Tottenham are on the lookout for a new manager following the sacking of Jose Mourinho last month. Former midfielder Ryan Mason is seeing things over on an interim basis until a full-time replacement is signed.
A number of names have been linked with the job for a while now but Tottenham haven’t had any success as of yet. The likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Brendan Rodgers and Erik ten Hag, who were the top candidates, have distanced themselves from the job already. (h/t Evening Standard)
Apart from these names, young English managers in Scott Parker and Graham Potter are also being considered by Tottenham while international managers Roberto Martinez and Gareth Southgate are also in the fray. (h/t Evening Standard)
Also being considered is former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri. The 53-year-old has been out of management since 2019 when he left the Bianconeri after having won consecutive Serie A titles, to add to the one he had won at AC Milan. An experienced, proven manager, someone like the Italian would certainly be quite the coup for Tottenham.
And, it is being claimed by the report that Allegri would consider an approach if Spurs were to make a move to secure his services.

An elite manager like Allegri, though, could want to go to a club with Champions League football on offer – something that will not be the case at Tottenham Hotspur next season. But, with him being willing to consider an approach, the club should certainly explore the possibility of securing the 53-year-old’s services.
