Massimiliano Allegri and Three Club Officials Dismissed
AC Milan's leadership has decided to part ways with head coach Massimiliano Allegri and three other executives following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, which saw the team finish fifth in Serie A. The Rossoneri accumulated 70 points during the campaign, securing a spot in the Europa League. This shake-up comes as the club looks to reverse its recent decline in domestic and European competitions.
In addition to Allegri, the following individuals have left their roles:
- Chief Executive Officer Giorgio Furlani,
- Sporting Director Igli Tare,
- Technical Director Geoffrey Moncada.
Allegri returned to Milan in the summer of 2025 on a two-year contract. His first stint at the club lasted from 2010 to 2014, during which he won the Scudetto in the 2010/11 season and the Supercoppa Italiana in 2011. His best achievement in the Champions League with Milan was reaching the quarterfinals.
Season Highlights and Low Points
In the current season, the team suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Cagliari, with Milan's only goal scored by Alexis Saelemaekers. In the Coppa Italia, Milan recorded two wins—against Bari (2-0) and Lecce (3-0)—but lost 1-0 to Lazio in the Round of 16. Additionally, they were eliminated from the Supercoppa Italiana in the semifinals after a 2-0 loss to Napoli.
Born in Livorno, Allegri played as a midfielder, with Pescara being the main club of his playing career. He began his coaching journey at Aglianese during the 2003/04 season and later managed SPAL, Grosseto, Sassuolo, and Cagliari. He served as head coach of Juventus from 2014 to 2019 and again from 2021 to 2024, where he secured major honors, including five Serie A titles and five Coppa Italia trophies.
This overhaul of Milan's leadership underscores the club's drive to improve performance, as they fell short of top standings in Serie A and failed to achieve strong results in cup competitions.
The decision to part ways with Allegri comes after intense deliberation within the club, reflecting the urgency to address the team's recent struggles.
