Betfair have the six-time Serie A winner Allegri leading the ‘next manager’ market at 2/1.
Chiefs at the club are supposedly big admirers of the 53-year-old, who confirmed he was taking English lessons in December.
The Italian tactician is closely pursued by Paris Saint-Germain’s Thomas Tuchel at 4/1.
Patrick Vieira WAS third in the market but the Arsenal icon has drifted from 5/1 to 10/1 having been given the boot by Nice last week.
His loss is Brendan Rodgers’ gain with the Leicester coach shortening from 10/1 to 15/2 be appointed at the Emirates Stadium.
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has now entered the frame having been overlooked by the bookies perviously.
He’s priced at 10/1 with Arsenal icon Thierry Henry following next at 12/1 and Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini the outsider of the bunch at 14s.

The weekend’s defeat resigned Arsenal to their worst start in the league since 1981.
The Gunners have lost SIX of their opening 11 top-flight fixtures, registering just 13 points.
They’ve also got the fourth lowest goal tally in the division with 10 – one less than Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin has racked up.
But despite the growing disillusion around north London, Arteta has vowed to fight on.
Arteta said: “I have to support the players, keep fighting and keep going – there is not any other way.”
Betfair Spokesperson, Sam Rosbottom said: “After another disappointing result for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta’s odds in the sack race have been slashed… again.
“His position had looked secure but with just the one win in the last fivePremier League matches, questions are now being asked of the Spaniard.
“Looking at who could potentially take over should Arteta leave, ex-Juventus boss and free agent, Massimiliano Allegri is the favourite at 2/1 to take over.”
