Journalist claims Allegri has had talks with ‘people at Milan’: “Desperate to return” | OneFootball

Journalist Graziano Campi has claimed that Max Allegri has had contacts with ‘people at AC Milan’ regarding the idea of taking over from Paulo Fonseca.

It has rarely been calm at Milan in the past few weeks and it has been another turbulent last few days for the club, following on from Paulo Fonseca’s decision to criticise the attitudes of certain members of the team after the win against Red Star on Wednesday.

Milan are going into their 125th birthday celebrations with a feeling of being on the edge of a crisis, and not just because of the poor results in the league to this point either which have not helped the new coach’s cause.

Thus, there is pressure on the Portuguese to engineer a turnaround, with the management no doubt watching the evolution of his relationship with the players closely, all with a top four finish the minimum objective.

Campi spoke on the show ‘Ti Amo Calciomercato.it’ broadcast on the official YouTube channel of the website and he comments on what Fonseca’s tirade might mean.

“Fonseca’s outburst makes me say that the rift between the coach and the players continues to exist . For this reason, I wouldn’t be surprised if before the end of the season, once mathematical qualification for the Champions League has been achieved, Allegri arrives, who is putting a lot of pressure on him to return to coach in Italy,” he said (via PianetaMilan).

“I know he has had several contacts with various people at Milan. Antonio D’Ottavio left the other day and Allegri would also like to bring Federico Cherubini as sporting director. He is someone who knows how to work with the Next Gen and the Rossoneri need to work with Milan Futuro.

“I saw him on TV with the Livorno coach watching a few games at the stadium, a sign that their bond and the esteem between the two is strong. It’s a combo that could be recomposed soon: if not immediately, in June at Milan.

“Allegri is desperate to return, to show Juventus that he is not finished and to finish ahead of the Bianconeri. It will be a very personal challenge for him against Cristiano Giuntoli.”
