AC Milan Dismiss Allegri After Missing Out on Champions League
RedBird Capital Partners said it will overhaul football operations after Milan finished fifth and missed Champions League qualification by one point.
- On Monday, AC Milan sacked coach Massimiliano Allegri after missing Champions League qualification, following a 2-1 home defeat by Cagliari on Sunday that drew heavy booing from San Siro fans.
- Allegri's second spell began with promise as Milan challenged for the Serie A title through much of the campaign, but the team saw a sharp decline in form at the end.
- Milan won just one of their final four matches, with AC Milan stating the season became 'an unequivocal failure' after the disappointing final loss contradicted earlier strong performance.
- The dismissals extended beyond Allegri to senior executives Giorgio Furlani, Igli Tare and Geoffrey Moncada, reflecting owner RedBird Capital Partners' approach after similarly removing AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini in 2023.
- AC Milan said 'further announcements regarding the next appointments will be made in due course- with the goal to be ready and well prepared for the next season' as reconstruction begins.
