Massimiliano Allegri is very interested in AC Milan’s offer to return as head coach, and his major comparative advantage over other candidates is his belief that the current Rossoneri squad is adequate, needing only two or three additions. This is an important factor, considering that Milan has spent more on signings than they have earned from player sales over the past two years. Next season, there will be no Champions League revenue, and even qualification for the Europa League remains uncertain.Five clubs fighting for the fourth place in Serie AIt is true that Allegri did not part ways with Milan on the best of terms 11 years ago, but today’s Milan has little in common with that era, as the Berlusconi-Galliani duo is long gone. Additionally, the relationship between Allegri and Zlatan Ibrahimović is unlikely to be a major issue. The two had numerous disagreements, even during the Scudetto-winning season, and their relations worsened over time. However, Ibrahimović is now an executive, and his perspective on football and his dynamic with coaches has shifted dramatically. While Allegri prepares to take over Milan in June, general director Giorgio Furlani continues his search for a new sporting director. After meeting with Fabio Paratici, Geoffrey Moncada, and Igli Tare, Furlani has now also held discussions with Atalanta’s sporting director, Tony D’Amico.Milan arise from the abyss in a bizarre, frantic comeback against LecceMeanwhile, Sergio Conceicao is struggling to find a reliable center-forward in the starting lineup. It was believed that the problem had been solved with the arrival of Santiago Gimenez, but after a strong start—scoring two goals in two matches—the Mexican striker has disappeared from the scoresheet, failing to score in his last four games. In other words, he has fallen into the same pattern as a series of strikers brought in to replace Olivier Giroud, from Alvaro Morata and Noah Okafor (who have since left) to Tammy Abraham and Luka Jović (who are still at the club). Young prospect Francesco Camarda also has yet to develop as quickly as expected.##NAJAVA_MECA_8773582##
