The new director invites old acquaintances! After 11 years, "Ayi" returns to Milan!

The reporter reported coldly There is an undercurrent in the Serie A coach market this summer, with Napoli, Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, Roma and Lazio all likely to change managers. Moreover, the goal of changing the coach is relatively concentrated, Napoli, Inter Milan and Milan are all interested in Allegri who has been idle for one year. In the end, Albanian legend Tare, who had just been the sporting director of Milan for only four days, made the first move, and quickly finalized Allegri's return while the two rivals were still hesitating. After 11 and a half years, Milan is back in the "Allegri era".

Since leaving Juventus in May last year, Allegri has been on a leisurely footing. During this time, he received a number of offers, in addition to Italy, the Premier League, Saudi Arabia and North American clubs, but Allegri politely declined. He has made it clear that he does not want to take over in the middle of the season, and hopes to have a full preparation period and ball market operation from this summer. Although Milan's operation to sign Allegri is a quick cut in the last three days, in fact, as early as March 18, Milan CEO Fulani had already called the former coach to ask him about his willingness to return.

Milan have had a season that has just ended with nothing, and the absence of European games in the new season has weakened the team's appeal. Even more troubling is the fact that Milan will not only have to find a new coach, but also finalize a new sporting director before then: the latter will be the sole decision-maker in the team's footballing affairs. It was not until May 26 that Milan chose the Albanian between Paraticić, Krošie, Sculo and Tare. The latter, who earns 800,000 euros a year, also stepped into the role immediately and played a decisive role in the signing of Allegri.

On 28 May, a three-hour secret conversation between Taray and Allegri made up his mind. Napoli's offer was earlier, and the two-year contract of 6 million euros after tax made Allegri hesitate for a while, after all, Milan's contract salary is only 5 million euros per year, and the term is 2+1. But Tareh convinced Allegri that Milan had more potential without European competition in the new season, and Allegri's familiarity with Milan made him more likely to succeed.

Between the summer of 2010 and the beginning of 2014, Allegri won the Serie A and Italian Super Cup in his first spell in charge of Milan. Milan's RedBird Group is more interested in Allegri's success at Juventus: five Serie A titles in five years, four Coppa Italia titles, three Super Cups and two Champions League finals.

Yesterday there were new negotiations between the Milan management and Allegri's team, and a complete agreement was reached. The contract was signed by Allegri's agent, Blanchini, Milan president Scaloni, CEO Fulani and sporting director Tare, at Blanchini's law firm's office. Allegri's team and Milan executives were photographed by the media as they entered and exited the office, meaning that Allegri's return was only officially announced. With Milan's official announcement of coach Conceição's resignation, the final hurdle has been cleared for Allegri's return.

Allegri, who has always been known for his conservative style, is already controversial in Italy. Behind the successful resume is an unpleasing style and a necessarily small number of goals. Allegri coined the concept of "corto muso" (short nose, which means winning by a narrow margin), which embodies the idea that a 1-0 win is the best result. Allegri and Antonio Conte are both representatives of the "consequentialism" (Risultatisti) coaches in Italian football, believing that sacrificing and discipline to focus on defending is more important than more attacking and scoring goals.

Bologna coach Italiano, who had just beaten Milan in the Coppa Italia final, is a representative of another school of Italian football, Giochisti, who believes that success is best if the game is better. Perhaps Milan fans are more expecting the latter, but for Milan, who must return to the Champions League, the Rossoneri need more points than flashy style. Taray and Allegri have agreed to build the squad with Leao as the core for the new season, keeping the main squad as much as possible, including Maignan, Te'o and Christian Pulisic, and the recruitment will also be dominated by more cost-effective Serie A players. Even if it had to be at the cost of selling Big Reinders, it could be afforded.

Allegri Milan returned to make his debut, which was supposed to be the Coppa Italia game against Bari in August, but he had to miss this game and Milan's second Coppa Italia game. Because in the Coppa Italia final between Juventus and Atalanta in May last year, Allegri, who was out of anger, took off his jacket and tie and smashed it to the ground to vent, denounced referee Maresca, fourth official, Juventus director Giuntoli, and even affected the editor-in-chief of "Torino Sport" Ivciago. The disgraced Juventus subsequently sacked Allegri, who was also sentenced to a two-match ban and a fine of 5,000 euros, effective from his tenure at Milan.
