He’s exactly what they need. When a team has collapsed, when the owners don‘t know how to make good decisions, the spirit of Massimiliano Allegri is more necessary to Milan than anything else. And now he’s back—the passionate coach has returned to San Siro. Max has signed a two-year contract, with an option for a third, bringing an end to the Portuguese era on the bench. Neither Paulo Fonseca nor Sergio Conceicao delivered what was expected of them. Fonseca looked lost and made almost no progress compared to the previous season. Conceicao did win the Italian Super Cup, but later failed in the Coppa Italia final (losing to Bologna), and also faltered in Serie A—either making new mistakes or failing to fix his predecessor’s—leaving the historic club without a spot in UEFA competitions.Let’s give a warm welcome to our new Head Coach, Massimiliano Allegri! 👏#SempreMilan— AC Milan (@acmilan) May 30, 2025 That’s why a change on the bench was necessary. Milan needed a coach who knows the club’s DNA and understands the realities of Italian football. A winning mentality goes without saying. That’s why Allegri was chosen. In his previous stint in 2011, he won the Scudetto in his first season as head coach. He later also won the Italian Super Cup, before moving on to Juventus, where he won five consecutive league titles. Let’s not forget that Max, including his time at all clubs (he began at Cagliari), has managed over 500 Serie A matches. That experience earned him the trust to bring Milan back into trophy contention.Fall of a giant – AC Milan miss out on EuropeAllegri’s return came after it became clear that Aurelio De Laurentiis and Antonio Conte had agreed to continue their cooperation at Napoli. Allegri, who had been the top candidate to replace Conte there, changed course—and now we’ll see him coaching a Milan side again.##NAJAVA_MECA_8957213##
