The Englishman is struggling hugely at Valencia, and while it may not be down to his lack of Spanish, footage of him shouting and swearing in ‘Ingles’ hasn’t helped.
So we’re not one bit surprised to hear that the man tipped to be the next Chelsea manager is taking English lessons.
Massimiliano Allegri is hot property, and why wouldn’t he be considering his Juventus side almost won the European Cup last year, as they continue to dominate Serie A.
