Massimiliano Allegri has been appointed the new head coach of AC Milan, the club announced on Friday, following the dismissal of Sergio Conceicao.
“AC Milan is pleased to announce that Massimiliano Allegri has been appointed as the Head Coach of the men’s first team,” the club said in an official statement, according to BSS.
While Milan did not disclose the contract terms, Italian media reports suggest Allegri has signed a two-year deal worth €5 million per season, with an option to extend for an additional two years.
Allegri becomes Milan’s fourth coach within a year, taking over after the club’s disappointing eighth-place finish in Serie A, which left them out of European competition. The 57-year-old previously managed Milan from 2010 to 2014, leading the Rossoneri to their most recent Serie A title in 2011. He later found further success at Juventus, where he won five more league titles.
Conceicao, 50, took charge earlier this year, replacing fellow Portuguese manager Paulo Fonseca. He made an immediate impact by winning the Italian Super Cup and guiding Milan to the Coppa Italia final, where they narrowly lost 1-0 to Bologna. During his tenure, Conceicao managed 31 matches, with a record of 16 wins, 7 losses, and 8 draws across all competitions.
