Milan Sack Allegri, Tare, Furlani and Moncada in Brutal End-of-Season Clear-Out

AC Milan have carried out a sweeping summer reset, sacking Massimiliano Allegri, Igli Tare, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada after what the club called an “unequivocal failure.” The decision followed a damaging final-day defeat to Cagliari, which cost Milan Champions League qualification and triggered a brutal internal clear-out.

What happened

Milan went into the final round needing only a point to secure a top-four finish, but they lost 2-1 at home after leading 1-0. That collapse turned what had been a promising season into a disaster in the eyes of ownership. The club’s statement said the late-season drop-off made the campaign an “unequivocal failure” and made clear that major change was now unavoidable.

Who has gone

The statement confirmed the immediate departures of CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, head coach Massimiliano Allegri and technical director Geoffrey Moncada. Milan thanked them for their service but made clear the club is moving into a new phase. RedBird patron Gerry Cardinale and special advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic will now lead the search for a new structure.

Why the shake-up happened

For much of the season, Milan were in the top two and looked set up to compete for the Scudetto while also returning to the Champions League. But the last stretch unravelled badly, and the club decided that such a collapse could not be tolerated. The message from ownership was that Milan need a stronger foundation for consistent success at the top of Serie A, not just occasional promise.

What comes next

The next step is a total rebuild of the club’s football leadership. Milan now need a new coach, a new sporting director and a new CEO, all before the start of next season. That means this is not just a managerial change; it is a full reorganisation of the club’s power structure.

The bigger picture

Allegri’s spell lasted 42 competitive matches, with 22 wins, 10 draws and 10 defeats. Tare and Moncada both arrived under very different circumstances, but their exits show how quickly the project has been judged and discarded. Milan’s ownership has clearly decided that stability without Champions League football is no longer enough.
