Massimiliano Allegri is set to return to AC Milan, the club he guided to a Serie A title in 2011. An agreement has been reached on a three-year contract worth €5 million net per season plus bonuses, with only final details left to be resolved.
Allegri had also been considered by Napoli, who are working to convince Antonio Conte to stay. With Conte now likely to remain, Allegri’s path back to Milan is clear.
The 56-year-old previously coached the Rossoneri from 2010 until early 2014, when he was dismissed midway through the campaign. In his first season at the helm, he led Milan to their most recent league title. His return signals the club’s ambition to bounce back after a disappointing season.
