Report – Milan Set to Sever Ties with Veteran Coach at the End of 2025/26 Season | OneFootball

Milan and Massimiliano Allegri are reportedly set to part ways at the end of the season, even if the Rossoneri secure a coveted Champions League return. According to Corriere dello Sport chief editor Ivan Zazzaroni via Calciomercato.it, the 58-year-old is ‘at loggerheads’ with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Giorgio Furlani.

To begin with, Massimiliano Allegri wasn’t Ibrahimovic’s first choice last summer. However, after failing to find an agreement with several coaches, including Roberto De Zerbi and Antonio Conte, Milan brought the veteran manager back to San Siro.

Even without the distraction of European football, Allegri has failed to mount a serious Scudetto challenge. Furthermore, Milan must avoid defeat against Cagliari on the final day to secure a top-four finish, with Como and Juventus breathing down their necks.

With the Sardinians arriving at San Siro having already staved off relegation fears, this should be a mere formality for the 19-time Italian champions. Yet, Milan would be well-advised not to underestimate Fabio Pisacane’s side after developing a nasty habit of dropping points against ‘lesser’ opponents this season.

Our take on Milan & Max Allegri

Despite being on the brink of an all-important Champions League return, Milan cannot be proud of their season. For instance, they’ve scored fewer goals than any other current top-six side, averaging just 1.4 goals per game. For further perspective, bitter rivals Inter have netted 34 more goals than the Rossoneri.

Moreover, Allegri and the senior figures at the club are not seeing eye to eye. The former Juventus manager remains one of the top candidates to take charge of the Italy national team following Gennaro Gattuso’s departure.

Meanwhile, Allegri’s exit would allow Ibrahimovic to pursue Conte, who could sever ties with Napoli after a disappointing campaign. It’s all just a theory for the moment, but things could quickly change, especially if Milan fail to secure a top-four finish on the final day.
