AC Milan’s Leadership Shake‑up After Missed Champions League Spot

Owner RedBird taps Zlatan Ibrahimovic to lead a club overhaul as Massimiliano Allegri and CEO Giorgio Furlani exit

AC Milan confirmed the dismissal of head coach Massimiliano Allegri and chief executive officer Giorgio Furlani on Thursday, marking the end of a tumultuous season that left the club outside the Champions League.

The Rossoneri had lingered in the top two for much of the campaign but collapsed in the final weeks, culminating in a 2‑1 defeat to Cagliari that cost them a European spot by a single point, ultimately finishing fifth in Serie A.

A New Direction for the Rossoneri

RedBird, the U.S. investment group that acquired the club last year, announced a comprehensive overhaul of football operations, appointing Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a special adviser who will work alongside managing partner Gerry Cardinale to reshape the squad and its technical staff.

The restructuring will see sporting director Igli Tare and technical director Geoffrey Moncada exit the club, while further appointments are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
