After another failure in the Italian "Serie A" championship, the leaders of the "Milan" club, who managed to win only five victories in 19 season matches, decided to dismiss the 46-year-old coach Massimiliano Allegri. The club announced this on Monday after an extraordinary meeting.
Although the club has long suffered poor results in the "Serie A" championship, Sunday's defeat finally overflowed the patience of the "Milan" leaders. On Sunday, "Milan" was defeated 4:3 by one of the championship underdogs "Sassuolo."
Currently, "Milan" is in eleventh place among the 20 teams in Italy. They are ten points away from the fifth place, which guarantees the right to compete in the Europa League next season.
Allegri took over the reins of "Milan" in 2010 and won the "Scudetto" with the club in his first season. In the 2011-2012 season, the "Rossoneri" finished in second place in the championship, just 4 points behind the champions, "Juventus."
At the beginning of last season, "Milan" started to struggle, but after a great end of the season, they managed to secure third place and break into the UEFA Champions League. It was precisely the good finish of the previous season that gave hope to the club's leaders that the team's results would improve this year. However, the "Serie A" championship is already halfway through, and "Milan" is struggling in the second part of the tournament table.
The goal.com portal reported that the position of the coach of the "Milan" team is being offered to the recently retired legendary "Milan" forward Fillipo Inzaghi.
