AC Milan announced the dismissal of head coach Massimiliano Allegri and chief executive officer Giorgio Furlani following a season that fell short of expectations.
The Fallout of a Missed Champions League Spot
The club’s campaign unraveled in the final weeks, culminating in a 2‑1 defeat to Cagliari that dropped Milan out of the Champions League places by a single point. Once perched among the top two for much of the campaign, the team finished fifth, a slide that prompted the club’s ownership to act.
RedBird, the investment group that controls the club, described the season as an "unequivocal failure" and outlined a comprehensive restructuring of football operations. Gerry Cardinale, the managing partner of RedBird, will work alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic to shape the next phase of the club’s sporting direction.
Allegri’s tenure comprised 42 matches in which the coach recorded 22 wins, 10 draws and 10 defeats, a record that ultimately could not shield him from the disappointment of the final standings.
The club confirmed that additional appointments will be communicated in due course, as the new leadership looks to rebuild a squad that has shown promise but failed to deliver the desired European competition spot.
