Milan backing Max Allegri in stance over Rafael Leao | OneFootball

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan have thrown full support behind coach Massimiliano Allegri amid speculation surrounding Rafael Leão’s role and contract. The club’s hierarchy, the report says, are letting Allegri decide Leão’s standing with “complete autonomy.”

The article states that Milan’s management is standing firmly by their manager as he navigates tensions involving Leão’s performances and future. Rather than override or constrain Allegri, the club appears content to let him steer the ship. Milan’s stance is described as one of trust: the hierarchy believes in Allegri’s judgment and is backing his decisions no matter the outcome.

Gazzetta adds that while Leão remains a star asset, the club expect him to conform to the team’s demands — and that Allegri has the authority to manage, bench, or reposition him as he sees fit. The message from Milan is clear: Allegri is not just a figurehead, but the final voice in technical decisions.

In the volatile landscape of modern football, such backing may prove decisive — and it highlights Milan’s confidence in their coach to maintain control and balance within the squad.
