Alert, Rui Costa! Milan offload stars and target Benfica man | OneFootball

AC Milan cleared the way for the signing of Marco Silva and Benfica could be left behind in the race. As confirmed in the last few hours, the Milan side announced the departure of coach Massimiliano Allegri, as well as other key figures at the club, following what was a failed season for the rossoneri.

The news was confirmed by the club itself through its official website, where it announced Allegri’s removal from the head coach position. Missing out on the Champions League led the Italian club to part ways with several figures at the club, starting a real revolution in the squad, coaching staff, and overall structure.

"After the disappointment of last season, the club’s objective was to return to the Champions League and lay the foundations to win consistently at the top of Serie A", the statement shared by Milan on the club’s official website reads, highlighting how the rossoneri failed to achieve one of the season’s key goals.

"For much of the season, we managed to stay in the top two positions in Serie A, always with a chance of winning the Scudetto. The final stretch was completely inconsistent with the performances we had produced up to that point, with the disappointment of what happened last night turning the season into an unmistakable failure", it added.

"Now is the time to make changes and reorganize the football structure", confirming the departures of coach Massimiliano Allegri, CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada. Gerry Cardinale, the club’s owner, will remain in charge until their successors arrive.
