Hands-on "Arsenal" leaders were left with a bitter aftertaste.
The London club, looking for a replacement for club symbol Arsene Wenger, is trying to aim for top-level coaches and initiate changes in the summer.
"Mundo Deportivo" reports that Italian specialist Massimo Allegri had almost reached an agreement with the Premier League team, but unexpectedly received an offer from Barcelona.
The coach did not hesitate for long - he turned his back on the English and started negotiations with representatives of La Liga.
Currently, the 49-year-old strategist leads the Juventus team, with which he has won the Serie A title twice and reached the Champions League final, where they lost to Barcelona.
It is worth noting that the Catalans were forced to start searching for a new coach when Luis Enrique announced his retirement.
