Milan are looking for a strong and experienced figure to lead the team's recovery after a disappointing season, without qualification for European cups and with an increasingly weakened connection with the fans.
The name that stands out above the rest is that of Massimiliano Allegri. The Italian matches in every aspect the profile that the red and black club is looking for: a successful coach and a good connoisseur of Serie A.
Allegri is no stranger to the Milan environment. He managed the team between 2010 and 2014, winning a league title and a Super Cup.
Then, with Juventus, he added another five championships, two Super Cups and five Coppa Italias to his CV, becoming the coach with the most Coppa Italia wins in the history of Italian football. This experience and continued success make him an ideal candidate to take charge of Milan's revival.
The club is seriously considering his return and is ready to make a significant economic investment, offering him a three-year contract – in line with the duration of the new sporting director, Igli Tare's agreement.
While Napoli is also awaiting a decision from Antonio Conte, Milan are looking to take advantage of this temporary halt to their competitors to speed up negotiations.
The aim is to reach an agreement within the week, although the process is not easy. However, Allegri's return would be a clear signal: Milan are ready to return to success - and they will do so with a winning "guarantor" on the bench.
