Max Allegri is reportedly facing dismissal from AC Milan today, a decision attributed to the team’s inability to secure Champions League qualification in the final round of the season. This claim is supported by numerous reports from reputable sources.
Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia, Sport Mediaset, and MilanNews all express confidence that patron Gerry Cardinale has made the final decision regarding Allegri’s future.
Allegri is expected to be notified of his sacking later today, with a formal announcement to follow. This marks a swift end to his second tenure at the club, which began last summer.
Despite challenging for the Scudetto for a significant portion of the season, Milan’s form drastically deteriorated after their Derby della Madonnina victory against rivals and then-leaders Inter on March 8. Following this crucial win, the team managed only three victories, a goalless draw against Juventus, and suffered six defeats.
Over the course of 42 competitive matches this season, Allegri’s record stands at 22 wins, 10 draws, and 10 losses.
His departure is anticipated to be part of a broader restructuring of the club’s senior management. It is expected that only Gerry Cardinale and special advisor Zlatan Ibrahimović will remain in their current roles. President Paolo Scaroni is likely to stay on, with his responsibilities primarily focused on the new stadium project.
CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, and chief scout Geoffrey Moncada are all reportedly expected to leave the club this summer.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Cardinale and Ibrahimović are actively seeking a coach described as a ‘Cesc Fabregas type’ – one who will adopt a more attacking and proactive approach.
Meanwhile, Allegri has been heavily linked with the managerial position at Napoli, even prior to AC Milan’s recent downturn in performance.
