Tuesday, May 26, 2026 - AC Milan have sacked head coach Massimiliano Allegri after failing to qualify for the Champions League, in a season the club's hierarchy described as an "unequivocal failure".
Milan fell from third to fifth in Serie A after a 2-1 defeat
by Cagliari on the final day to miss out on Champions League football for the
second year in a row.
"For the majority of this season, we were in the top
two positions in Serie A, with a credible shot at competing for the
Scudetto," read a statement from American investment group RedBird
Capital, which bought AC Milan in 2022.
"The final stretch was completely inconsistent with the
performance up to that point, with last night's disappointing loss in the final
game turning the season into an unequivocal failure.
"It is now time for change and a comprehensive
reorganization of football operations."
Chief executive Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli
Tare, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada have also left the club.
Inter Milan, Napoli, Roma, and Como - for the first time in
their history - will represent Italy in Europe's top-tier club competition next
season, while AC Milan joins Juventus in the Europa League.
