Allegri snubbed West Ham and held Tottenham talks – report | OneFootball

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri snubbed an offer from West Ham in recent weeks and held informal talks with Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy, but the Italian tactician could now sign for Al-Ahli.

Corriere dello Sport confirms that the Saudi side Al-Ahli have offered Allegri a two-year contract worth €50m.

Allegri would join the Saudi side at the end of the season, while his compatriot Gabriele Cioffi could be appointed as a caretaker coach for the second part of the campaign.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the offer from Al-Ahli naturally tempts Allegri, but the Tuscan will only make a final decision once his agent, Giovanni Branchini, returns from Australia later this month.

The Rome-based paper reports that Allegri has already rejected an offer from West Ham, one from Al-Ahli rivals Al-Shabab and one from the Belgium national team.

The report claims that Allegri also held informal talks with Tottenham President Levy but never received an offer from Spurs.

Allegri was spotted at the Tottenham Stadium in November for a Europa League game between Spurs and Roma.
