  • AC Milan has dismissed head coach Massimiliano Allegri and several key figures in its sporting and technical management following a disappointing season.
  • The club failed to secure a Champions League qualification spot, finishing fifth in Serie A and missing a primary objective set by ownership.
  • Allegri's tenure, marked by inconsistency, saw the team suffer multiple defeats in the final stretch of the season, leading to the decision for a "complete reorganization."

AC Milan has undergone a significant shake-up, dismissing head coach Massimiliano Allegri and other top officials, including the general director, sporting director, and technical area director. The decision by RedBird Capital Partners, the private equity firm that acquired the club in 2022, comes after the team failed to secure a coveted spot in the Champions League.

The club's fifth-place finish in Serie A, while qualifying them for the Europa League, fell short of the primary objective set by the ownership. RedBird emphasized that Champions League qualification was crucial for "laying the foundation for consistent winning" in the league. The club's leadership described the latter part of the season as "inconsistent" and the final matchday defeat as "disappointing," ultimately deeming the season a "resounding failure."

Massimiliano Allegri's second stint as coach was plagued by poor results, particularly in the closing stages of the Serie A campaign. AC Milan recorded six losses in their last ten league matches, including three defeats in the final four games. This downturn allowed rivals to overtake them for the final Champions League qualification spot. The team also faced early exits from the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana, contributing to the decision for a "complete reorganization" of the club's football operations.
