Journalist Manuele Baiocchini has praised the AC Milan management for making the perfect choices after a disappointing season, hiring Igli Tare and Max Allegri to revive the project.
After announcing the arrival of Igli Tare as the new sporting director on Monday, Milan then confirmed that they had hired Max Allegri as the new head coach yesterday. In other words, less than a week after the season ended, the Rossoneri already have a new project in place.

Speaking to MilanNews, the Sky Italia journalist Manuele Baiocchini was asked about Milan’s decision to hire the duo. Given that they couldn’t afford to make any gambles, he believes they couldn’t have made any better decisions.
“I think Milan couldn’t have made better choices at this time. They couldn’t take any chances, so they took a 51-year-old director with 15-16 years of high-level experience. It’s true that Lazio aren’t the same as Milan in terms of prestige, but the management relationships are the same.
“He knows how to do it and how to work. And above all, he’s a man of the pitch. Milan needed someone to be present and listen to the players. Behind this gruff face that Tare has, there’s a man of values, who has a significant depth. I think the players can have respect for a person like that.
“And the same goes for Allegri. He has won a lot in his career. He also won at Milan and he knows the environment. Milan had to go with certainties and I think they have chosen well to ensure that next season won’t be the same,” he stated.
It’s certainly a bit of a relief to have two very experienced Serie A figures at the helm of the project. That being said, the mercato will play a huge part and the future of Tijjani Reijnders, with Man City very keen on signing him, could be decisive.
Previous both coaches Fonseca and Conceicao set too rarely 2 clear attacker now if my mind not lies me was one time with Abraham-Gimenez clinch under Conceicao
I not have need to think about poor result thats talks for itself
I mean to Felix wasnt RW proper state and I really think he is really most effective at the edge of attacks , but he remain behind Gimenez moat of situations IMO
So wated Leao, RLC and Chukueze whole game rhytm wasnt on demand
The problem began when Giroud took over from Ibrahimovic, they are similar players.
However, when Giroud left, we signed Gimenez, even though he’s by no means a bad striker but from my own beginner’s scouting at the time, I pointed out that the striker we should have gone for was one between Pavlidis and Gyokeres because they suit our style of play more than Gimenez.
