It has been a season of Champions League ambitions, rather than hopes for the Scudetto, even when it was a feasible goal. Now, the egg is on the face of Milan. Yesterday’s loss meant they will play in the Europa League next season and questions are being asked of everyone.
Considering the recent run, it is not even a surprise that the Rossoneri couldn’t get over the line. They started the season as they finished it, with a loss at San Siro against a side who shouldn’t have won (with the utmost respect).
Of course, the contexts were different. Yet, in both cases, the Diavolo just rolled over for their opposition and let them get the advantage.
Allegri on his way?
As a result of the defeat, questions are being asked of the management and the manager. Indeed, MilanNews writes that Allegri is under fire internally and could face the sack for his failure to get the club back into the Champions League.
Recently, he has appeared the most likely candidate to stay this summer. However, this changes everything and in the next few days, if not the next few weeks, changes cannot be ruled out.
Another reset could well be on the cards.
