It is of course a return to the Rossoneri for Allegri, who was at the club from 2010 to 2014. In that three and a half year spell he won the Scudetto in 2010-11 then the Supercoppa Italiana in the same year.
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Two yeses. Allegri returns to Milan, Conte stays at Napoli. Max gets a 2-year contract, which could become 4 in the event of a Scudetto.”
Corriere dello Sport: “All done. Allegri returns to Milan. Max at Milanello after eleven years: two-year contract plus two options.”
Tuttosport: “Allegri: Milan, I’ll get you back on your feet. Max signs a two-year deal: he returns to the Rossoneri after 11 years. We start again with Leao. Magnanelli is also on the staff, arriving from Juve. The pact with Ibra. City want Reijnders already at the Club World Cup: Milan is asking for €75m.”
