Italian backed for Arsenal job after storming out of interview

Italian backed for Arsenal job after storming out of interview

The Juventus manager was not happy with comments over his side and as a result, he has been backed to leave the club at the end of the season.

Since Arsene Wenger announced his departure from Arsenal, the manager’s market has been a whirlwind and every name in football seems to have been thrown in the hat at some point.

However, sitting pretty at the top of the market is Massimiliano Allegri who has lifted yet another trophy this week, having dismantled Gattuso’s AC Milan side 4-0 in the Coppa Italia final.

The no nonsense Italian is currently best priced at 2/1 but he is also as short as evens to take over the helm in North London.

The 50-year-old has won three Serie A titles, four Coppa Italia’s and finished runner up twice in back to back Champions League finals.

After the recent Coppa Italia final, Allegri stormed out of an interview live on TV, after claiming his team are now always expected to win and had his decision to leave out Higuaín questioned.

This sparked more interest from Oddschecker punters and the Italian has now received 35% of all bets since walking out of the interview.

There has been continued support for Mikel Arteta, who has received almost 20% of all bets in the last 48 hours, who is still best priced at 4/1.

Arsenal legend Robert Pires came out and expressed his feelings that former captain Patrick Vieira should still have the upper hand for the job over Arteta, although the Frenchman has drifted to 20/1.

An interesting move for Unai Emery has also occurred, whilst Arsene Wenger has also been linked to take over at PSG and we could potentially see a straight swap in the summer.

Emery, who guided his side to league and cup glory this season is best priced at 25/1 but is also as short as 11/1 with a few bookmakers and it will be interesting to see any further developments with this one.

Oddschecker spokesman George Elek: "You still get the feeling it's all up in the air with the Arsenal job, but the money that has come in for Arteta does suggest that their is interest from the club. Whether Manchester City will entertain any offers is still yet to be seen."
