Follow the team: Former Juventus coach Allegri is the favorite to become AC Milan's new coach

According to CM team reporter Daniele Longo, 57-year-old Massimiliano Allegri is the popular candidate for AC Milan's new coach.

AC Milan's performance this season is sluggish. After 28 rounds, they ranked 8th in Serie A with 12 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses and 44 points. They also performed poorly in the Champions League, and finally lost 1-2 to Feyenoord and failed to advance to the round of 16.

For AC Milan, the poor results have announced the end of Sergio Conceicao's coaching era. The only question left is whether he will be fired immediately or wait until the end of the season to officially say goodbye. But in any case, Conceicao's departure is a foregone conclusion.

According to Daniele Longo, Allegri is at the top of the list of new coaches for Milan. He is one of the best coaches in Italy and has coached AC Milan for four years. As of 2014, when he was dismissed, Allegri led the team to a record of 91 wins, 49 draws and 38 losses, winning the Serie A championship and the Italian Super Cup.

In addition to AC Milan, Allegri has also served as head coach at Alianes, Spal, Grosseto, Sassuolo, Cagliari and Juventus. He has led his team to 344 wins, 135 draws and 147 losses, and won 5 Serie A titles, 5 Italian Cups and 2 Italian Super Cups.

Longo added that AC Milan favors Allegri because he is full of motivation, capable of stabilizing the team and solving problems, and can gain the trust and support of the players. The two sides have been in contact since December last year, and Allegri is now more likely to become Milan's new coach than another candidate, Roberto De Zerbi.
