Napoli & Italy wait for Allegri decision after Milan miss out on Champions League | OneFootball

Massimiliano Allegri is set to leave Milan following the club’s failure to secure Champions League football, with a wholesale restructuring of the Rossoneri’s leadership imminent, and both Napoli and the Italian national team waiting to see where the coach lands next.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Allegri will not resign but his departure is considered all but certain as part of a broader reset at the club. Igli Tare, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada are all expected to follow him out of the door, effectively undoing the entirety of last summer’s managerial and directorial structure.

Allegri emerges as frontrunner for Italy & Napoli jobs

Two scenarios are emerging as the most likely destinations for the 58-year-old.

The first is Napoli, where Antonio Conte has already confirmed his exit. Aurelio De Laurentiis has long been an admirer of Allegri, and the pair have come close to an agreement on previous occasions. With the Partenopei now in the market for a coach of proven pedigree, Allegri fits the profile precisely.

The second possibility is the Italy national team job, though the appointment of a new coach is tied to the outcome of the FIGC presidential elections scheduled for June 22.

Allegri is considered one of the frontrunners alongside Conte himself, who could conceivably swap roles with his former rival, and Roberto Mancini.

The starting point for everything, however, is Milan’s formal confirmation of his exit. That announcement is expected imminently, after which the picture for both Napoli and the Azzurri will become considerably clearer.
