Massimiliano Allegri is the new Milan coach after signing the two-year contract with option for a third this evening, assure multiple reports, returning to San Siro after 11 years.

Multiple sources all confirm that he put pen to paper and the salary is worth €5m per season, plus more in performance-related bonuses.

Milan President Paolo Scaroni has also now arrived at the same venue to welcome the new coach.

He had already been at the helm of the Rossoneri from 2010 to 2014, when he was fired in January 2014.

Allegri oversaw 178 games for the club, winning one Serie A title and one Supercoppa Italiana trophy.

He went on to two different stints at Juventus from 2014 to 2019, then again from 2021 to May 2024, when he was fired just hours after winning the Coppa Italia over his touchline behaviour in a clash with director of sport Cristiano Giuntoli.
