CM: Allegri tells friends he wants Milan job – why the timing may be right | OneFootball

Massimiliano Allegri remains a candidate to take over as AC Milan head coach, and he has reportedly told friends that he wants the job.

According to Calciomercato.com, the new Milan is ‘taking shape’ with the aim of immediately becoming competitive for the title. Things are moving slowly but the strategy seems to be quite clear: the idea is to create an Italian base. From the sporting director to the coach, including the players.

Giorgio Furlani is directing the operations of a team that will see Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic remain very central, but in different roles. Furlani has reiterated a concept several times in his latest outings in front of the cameras: Milan wants to win.

To do so, they need to rely on a coach who knows how to do it, especially in Italy. Allegri won a Scudetto and a Supercoppa Italiana with Milan and five Scudetti with Juventus in addition to the record of five Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiani.

This list of titles makes him one of the best Italian coaches of all time, and the Rossoneri need a coach who knows how to handle pressure. They must also act as a glue between a management that is still inexperienced and a squad that is complicated to manage. Allegri has already shown he can do this in his career.
