5 managers who could replace Maurizio Sarri if he leaves Chelsea

#5 Massimiliano Allegri

Allegri enjoyed huge levels of success in charge of Juventus

It may be the case that as Sarri goes one way to Juventus, Allegri goes the other to Stamford Bridge. The Italian has enjoyed nothing but success in his time with Juve, winning the Serie A title in each of his five seasons in charge of the club.

He has built one of the finest squads in Europe, and the only blot on his copybook is his failure to win the Champions League, though he did finish as runner up twice, first to Barcelona in 2015, and then to Real Madrid in 2017.

He has been linked with a move to Chelsea before but has always been overlooked when the hot seat came available at Stamford Bridge. The problem with any manager who takes over at Chelsea will be that they have to work with what’s already there because of their transfer ban. Allegri may want to bring players who suit his style to Chelsea if he takes over, and he may feel now is not the best time for him.
