Next Arsenal manager: Massimiliano Allegri is favourite as Gunners are set to announce new boss before the World Cup
Juventus manager is leading the race to be Arsene Wenger's successor as they are set to name their new man before the tournament starts in Russia on 14 June
MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI is the bookies' favourite as Arsenal's are set to announce their new man with the World Cup fast approaching.
The Gunners are set to name their new boss to replace Arsene Wenger before the tournament starts in Russia on 14 June.
The Italian is currently favourite with Sun Bets at 7/4 ahead of Luis Enrique (5/1) and Carlo Ancelotti (6/1).
Wenger was given an emotional send off at the Emirates on Sunday following his last home game as Arsenal boss, which resulted in a 5-0 win over Burnley.
It's believed Allegri is putting talks with the Gunners on hold until Juve successfully defend their Serie A crown as he eyes his fourth league title on the spin.
Meanwhile Carlo Ancelotti has turned down negotiations with Italy, insisting he is looking to return to club football.
But previous favourite Enrique is believed to have priced himself out of the job - demanding £15million before tax.

Sun Bets spokesman Tim Reynolds said: "Arsenal are clearly looking to swiftly find a new replacement, to give them plenty of time to improve their squad in the summer.
"Massimiliano Allegri has been in charge of Juve since 2014 and he would be open to a new challenge after winning the title in his last three seasons and guiding them to the Champions League final twice.
"Allegri has experience at a huge club and has also shown he can maintain and develop an elite squad season after season."
