Milan pays the price for a self-destructive season.

AC Milan sacked coach Massimiliano Allegri along with a number of high-ranking officials, but the "Rossoneri's" crisis had actually begun long before the final defeat.

AC Milan sacked coach Massimiliano Allegri along with a number of high-ranking officials.

Milan didn't collapse in one match. They crumbled over months. The decision to sack Allegri, Giorgio Furlani, Igli Tare, and Geoffrey Moncada on June 25th was simply the end of a season in which the "Rossoneri" squandered everything at the most crucial stage.

At one point, Milan were in the top two of Serie A and maintained a 24-match unbeaten streak. Allegri's team played pragmatically, solidly, and consistently enough to make fans believe in their chances of winning the Scudetto.

But Milan's biggest problem lies in their inability to maintain the vitality of that system. When the attack starts to decline, the entire framework immediately crumbles.

Santiago Giménez failed to score in Serie A. Rafael Leão lost his usual explosive form. Christian Pulisic only had brief moments of brilliance. Milan gradually transformed into a team that controlled the game but lacked the ability to finish off opponents.

Losing 10 points in the last 10 rounds wasn't a temporary slip-up. It was a sign of a team losing faith in itself.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment for the Red Bird's management wasn't missing out on a Champions League spot by just one point. For a club with such a rich tradition as Milan, the biggest failure was the feeling that the team could no longer maintain its true competitive spirit during the crucial stages. Therefore, this overhaul was almost inevitable.

Allegri was expected to bring stability with his experience and Serie A prowess. For much of the season, he did deliver. But modern football doesn't allow a big team to survive for too long solely on defensive ability and risk management.

Milan once struck fear into Europe with their character, speed, and dominance. The 2025/26 version, however, ended with fatigue, a lack of ideas, and a collapse at the most crucial moment.

The "Rossoneri" are now preparing for another revolution. But Milan's problem is no longer simply changing the coach or a few leaders. What they lack most is a strong enough identity to prevent the team from falling apart again.
