If we look at last season, one of the many problems was defensive performance, which, to be fair, had already been Milan’s weak point for several years. Within a machine that wasn’t working, one cog seemed to have become faulty: Fikayo Tomori. One of Pioli’s title-winning heroes, who had earned a place in the England national team after joining Milan in January 2021, no longer looked like the same player.
Today, Allegri’s influence is having a positive effect on Tomori. Once considered expendable in the January market, when he insisted on staying, he could now be one of the next players to renew with the club.
As 'Corriere dello Sport' headlines today:
"Tomori’s comeback, with a renewal with the Rossoneri."
The subheading reads: "The defender’s decline was one of Milan’s crisis factors last year. Today, the Englishman is as decisive as in his first season with the Rossoneri. The club is ready to extend his contract," as relayed via Milan News.
The article adds: "The management has appreciated his turnaround. Credit goes to Allegri."
