It has been quite a busy week at Casa Milan, which it perhaps needed to be given that the dust is still settling after a dreadful 2024-25 campaign which saw the club fail to qualify for any European competition next season.
The big news began with the official announcement of Igli Tare as the new sporting director, and he got to work immediately. Then, earlier on Friday, it was confirmed that Massimiliano Allegri is back for a second spell as the head coach.
Pellegatti spoke on his YouTube channel to give his thoughts on the arrival of Allegri and in general to comment on how Milan, rather refreshingly, got some business done quickly.
“I had called for it, they followed me and the opinion of many: there was no need to skimp on investments to get Allegri. And in fact with five million plus two in bonuses you get close to Allegri’s standard salary,” he said (via MilanNews).
“Then, with Conte remaining in Naples and Inter uncertain about Inzaghi, Milan accelerated. In just a few days, Milan changed their strategy: it is unrecognisable compared to the one of the last few months. It is a fast, ready Milan. A negotiation had never been concluded so quickly recently.”
