adsAC Milan have sacked head coach Massimiliano Allegri along with several senior club executives, following the Rossoneri’s failure to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
The 19-time Serie A champions suffered a damaging 2-1 home defeat to Cagliari Calcio on Sunday in their final league game of the season, a result that confirmed Milan would miss out on Europe’s premier club competition.
Allegri was appointed last May, returning to the San Siro 11 years after the end of his first spell in charge, with the task of restoring the club to Champions League football after a disappointing previous campaign.
In a statement released by club owners RedBird Capital Partners, the club confirmed sweeping changes across its football operations.
“After the disappointment of last year, the mandate ownership set for the club was to return to the Champions League and to establish a foundation for winning consistently at the top of Serie A,” the statement read.
