Rarely has Serie A seen such a lively managerial merry-go-round as the one currently unfolding in the days following the end of the season. Many top-tier clubs are facing uncertainties, and only a few have managed to solve the puzzle. AC Milan is among those still searching, with new sporting director Igli Tare tasked with making his first major decision—one that will shape his three-year project with the Rossoneri.
Milan going for Allegri
After recent attention shifted away from Vincenzo Italiano—now in talks with Bologna—to Thiago Motta and Roberto Mancini, today La Gazzetta dello Sport places Massimiliano Allegri at the top of the list for the Rossoneri’s bench. According to the report, the Livorno-born coach fits the ideal profile the club is seeking. He’s Italian, knows Serie A very well, has a significant history at Milanello, and above all, he's a proven winner: six Scudetti, five Coppa Italia titles, three Italian Supercups, and two Champions League final appearances. In this light, La Gazzetta writes that Milan would gladly welcome him back and is even prepared to make a financial effort to secure his return.
Milan, it depends on Conte...
The Rossoneri's goal is to appoint a strong, high-profile coach who can instill identity in a squad that often appeared lost during the past season. For Igli Tare, this is a top-priority decision, as he sees Allegri—alongside Antonio Conte—as the best available in Italy. The club is ready to offer a three-year contract, matching the length of Tare's own deal. However, Antonio Conte’s future will be key to how things unfold. Allegri is also being tempted by Napoli, who have contacted him and are keeping him on hold in case Conte leaves. Milan must act wisely—and above all, quickly—if they want to outpace the competition and bring Allegri back more than a decade after his first stint.
