Massimiliano Allegri believes that AC Milan have no time to waste and he plans to bring forward the start of preseason, a report claims.
It was announced on Friday afternoon that Allegri is the new coach of Milan. He returns 11 years after his first tenure with the Rossoneri ended, and he faces the big task of leading a resurgence following a dire 2024-25 season.
According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), it is likely that Allegri will bring forward the ‘raduno’, which is the start of preseason preparations. It is now expected that the team will reconvene at the training complex on Friday 4 July.
The final decision will be made this week, but the coach wants to make the most of the days of work at Milanello before leaving (on July 19) for the tour in Asia and Australia.
Even if he won’t have the internationals (who will have a few more days off), he will be able to start instilling his concepts to the rest of the squad.
The season just archived ended with Sergio Conceiçao’s three-man defence, but the former Juventus coach should start again with the four-man defence, according to a recent report from Sky.
Allegri will play with back 3… the team is currently more built for that system and the coach is known for his 3 men defense structure…
It just doesn’t make sense otherwise…
make Puli fantasista to support Gimenez and Leao on counter attacks…
Ricci and Fofana would be better balanced duo at pivots.
none of our current defenders can play well in 2 men system (Pavlovic is better, Gabbia and Tomori are more solid, Bartesaghi can be also introduced easily as LCB cover…)
finally, Jimenez, Alexis and (currently*) Theo are all more of LM/RM than fullbacks…
Allow the coach to do what he is paid for and stop the eagerness already 😂😆
