Max Allegri has begun taking English lessons in London for the Chelsea Job, according to a report today in the Sun.
Taking English lessons isn’t proof of anything, and it’s something many managers would pursue when they are without a club, but it’s certainly a hint in Chelsea’s direction.

The former Juventus boss was in charge of the Turin based giants for 5 seasons, winning 5 titles in the process, and understandably he’s decided to try a new challenge abroad, after having previously been AC Milan coach.
He is the second favourite for the Chelsea job on most sites and looks a very realistic option.
While Chelsea may shy away from yet another Italian manager, he has a lot more experience than Frank Lampard, the other prime candidate.
If Chelsea are looking for a safe option, 51-year-old Allegri is probably the man.
This all depends on Maurizio Sarri, Chelsea’s current manager of course.
