Press: "Chelsea" close to agreement with M. Allegri

The English newspaper "Daily Express" reports that London's "Chelsea" is nearing an agreement with coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Earlier this week, the Italian confirmed his desire to move abroad, but yesterday the manager of Turin's "Juventus", Giuseppe Marotta, insisted that the strategist will remain working within the ranks of the Italian champions.

Now, contradictory comments from the media are adding to the speculation, according to which the "aristocrats" are definitely planning to part ways with current manager Antonio Conte, who does not see eye to eye with president Roman Abramovich.

Luis Enrique was considered the main candidate to take over as coach, but, reportedly, he is in no rush to make a decision, while "Chelsea" wants to reach an agreement sooner.
