An Upcoming Revolution in Milan: Management Dismissal and Allegri Threatened with Departure
AC Milan is preparing to make extensive changes within the administrative and technical system following the team's failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, having finished the season in fifth place in the Italian league.
The newspaper "Football Italia," citing "La Gazzetta dello Sport," reported that club owner Gerry Cardinale is considering dismissing several key officials within AC Milan, including CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada, following a disappointing season that saw the team finish outside the Champions League qualifying spots.
Milan only needed a draw against Cagliari in the final round to secure a top-four finish, but the team suffered a 2-1 defeat at San Siro, dashing their hopes of participating in the most prestigious European competition next season.
The report emphasized that the uncertainty is not limited to the management alone but also extends to the Swede Zlatan Ibrahimović, who holds the position of senior advisor within the club, amid widespread anticipation regarding his future in the coming period.
The future of coach Massimiliano Allegri has become highly uncertain, despite his return to Milan last summer and his contract extending until June 2027. The management believes that the anticipated changes might also involve the coaching staff.
Allegri said after the end of the match: "The entire season must be evaluated as it was; the players gave their all."
He added: "We made mistakes, and I also made mistakes during these six defeats. Naturally, the final outcome of the season affects the evaluation, but we must remain calm when making final decisions."
The fall of Milan and the draw of Juventus in the last round led to Roma and Como qualifying for the Champions League, joining Inter Milan and Napoli, after both teams secured victories at the end of the season's competitions.
