Massimiliano Allegri has responded to links with the Arsenal job by saying he wants "400 more matches" as Juventus boss.

The ongoing uncertainty over Arsene Wenger's future led several newspapers to claim Allegri is on a shortlist of potential replacements drawn up by the Arsenal board.

But the Italian, who has won back-to-back league and cup doubles in his two seasons in Turin, is planning to stay beyond the remaining 18 months of his deal.

"I'm fine here, I've still got a year and a half left on my contract and when the time comes I will sit down with the club to speak about the future and put together a schedule," he said.

"I hope to take charge of another 300 or 400 games as Juventus coach. I'm happy here and, as I've always said, if something is not going well then the club will be the first to hear about it."
