"Allegri and Arteta Leading the Race for Arsenal Manager's Seat in the Race"

Over the weekend, "Emirates" stadium bid a farewell to Arsene Wenger, who led London's "Arsenal" club for 22 years.

A. Wenger will leave the ranks of the "Gunners" after this season and make way for a new strategist. There are many candidates, but according to "Goal.com" sources, "Arsenal" currently has two real contenders - Massimiliano Allegri and Mikel Arteta.

It is said that the current manager of Turin's "Juventus" is preparing to leave Italy, as he wants new challenges abroad. According to the same sources, M. Allegri recently visited London and had a meeting with representatives of "Arsenal."

Both sides promise to start official negotiations next week, but in case of failure, "Arsenal" already has a backup plan.

"Arsenal" believes that Mikel Arteta is ready to start his professional coaching career at their club. The Spaniard was part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff this season.
