Joao Felix is about to be returned to Chelsea by AC Milan. |
After a rare victory in the Super Cup, the “Rossoneri” almost lost all chances of winning the title as well as a direct Europa League spot next season. In the Coppa Italia final in the early morning of May 15, Bologna made history by winning their first championship in 51 years, thanks to the only goal of Ndoye. This victory further sank Milan into disappointment as the season continued to decline.
On the personnel front, João Félix's future is up in the air. The Portuguese forward arrived on loan at Milan in January with high expectations. He impressed with a stunning goal on his debut against Roma in the Coppa Italia, but a dip in form has seen him lose his starting place and make just one start in his last 10 games. At the end of the season, João Félix will return to Chelsea in search of a new destination, marking his fifth club in just two years.
The story in the technical area is not much better, with coach Sérgio Conceiçao almost certainly being fired. The Portuguese coach joined Milan in December on a one-and-a-half-year contract, but has not been able to improve the situation.
Milan are currently eighth in Serie A, having been eliminated early in the Champions League by Feyenoord and failing in the Coppa Italia. CEO Giorgio Furlani has not hesitated to call this a “disastrous season” and admits the team is far from its goals.
Italian media reported that Milan have begun negotiations with several potential candidates for the head coach position, including De Zerbi, Allegri and even Conte - if he leaves Napoli. However, the person most favored by the board of directors is Igli Tare - a former Lazio player who is likely to take on the role of sporting director to rebuild the team after a disappointing season.
Milan now face a huge challenge in restructuring the squad, regaining their former position and returning to the title race next season.
