Patrice Evra says Juventus coach Max Allegri would succeed in England.

Allegri is being linked with Arsenal and Marseille signing Evra can see him working in the Premier League.

“I have huge respect for the boss," Evra told Sky Italia.

“In fact, it hurt me a bit when people said I left because of Allegri. We had talked, and in my opinion he's a great Coach and he proved that to me two years ago against Borussia Dortmund.

“He made a presentation for me that, when I got to the Dortmund game, for the first time in my career everything that he said would happen, happened on the day of the match.

“He's very positive, he doesn't like stress. I think he'd do well in England, because I've always said they lack tactical discipline in England.

“That's why an Italian Coach is crucial. We saw that with [Claudio] Ranieri and now [Antonio] Conte. I think Chelsea will win the League.

“If the boss [Allegri] goes there I don't see why he wouldn't do well."
