AC Milan face a major crisis after failing to reach the Champions League. The Italian club finished fifth in Serie A following a painful 2-1 loss to Cagliari on the final day of the season.
The Rossoneri only needed a draw against the visitors to finish in the top four. However, they lost to a side that had already secured their place in the league, ending the campaign in disappointment.
Club owner Gerry Cardinale is now planning big changes at Milanello. Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport say several top officials will lose their jobs following the collapse.
Chief Executive Giorgio Furlani is set to leave his position. Sporting director Igli Tare and technical director Geoffrey Moncada are also expected to go as part of the clear-out.
Head coach Massimiliano Allegri also faces questions about his future. He returned to the club last summer but could now depart despite having a contract that runs until June 2027.
Speaking after the match, Allegri admitted he made mistakes during the campaign. He said the players gave their best effort but six defeats across the season proved too costly.
The former Juventus manager stressed the need for careful evaluation of the entire year. He accepts that missing the Champions League will influence decisions about his role at the club.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s position as Senior Advisor is also in doubt. No one knows if the Swedish star will remain at the club during this difficult period of change.
The final results mean AS Roma and Como will play in next season’s Champions League. They join Inter Milan and Napoli in Europe’s top competition, while Juventus also missed out after drawing their last game.
