Massimiliano Allegri is the most successful manager in Juventus' history, boasting the highest points per game ratio. Allegri guided Juventus to five straight league titles, alongside four Italian cups and two Champions League finals.

Almost all of this was in a pre-Cristiano Ronaldo era, where Juve's spending was more modest and Allegri was left to cover the gaps caused by big names such as Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal leaving.

Allegri achieved most of his success playing a pragmatic, defense-first style, best shown by the fact that Juventus had the best defensive record in the league in all of Allegri's seasons. Juve never conceded more than 27 league goals in any season under him, with their best tally coming in the 2015-16 season where they conceded just 20 throughout the season.

Allegri has used a variety of systems over the years, from 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 to 3-5-2. A 3 at the back formation could be his best option; the additional centre back would help cover up Arsenal's fragile defence. That would also mean playing higher up wing-backs, something that would suit Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney.

Allegri has also hinted at an eagerness to manage in the Premier League, recently admitting he was taking English lessons.
