Massimiliano Allegri returned to AC Milan on Friday as the ailing seven-time European champions try once again to rebuild following an awful season which left one of the world’s biggest clubs with no European football next term.
-
Milan have turned to serial winner Allegri in their hour of need following the widely expected sacking of Sergio Conceicao, who leaves the San Siro club after five miserable months in charge.
“AC Milan is pleased to announce that Massimiliano Allegri has been appointed as the head coach of the men’s first team,” said Milan in a statement.
Milan did not reveal details of the deal but Italian media widely report that Allegri has signed a two-year contract worth five million euros a season, with the option to extend for a further two years.
Allegri has become the fourth coach in a year for Milan, who finished this past Serie A season in eighth place.
