Max Allegri: Italy's First Choice Under Malagò's Presidency?
Reports suggest that Massimiliano Allegri is the preferred candidate to become the next manager of the Italian national team if Giovanni Malagò wins the upcoming election for FIGC President. This potential move gains traction as Allegri's relationship with AC Milan reportedly faces increasing strain.
The search for a new FIGC President is underway, and the successful candidate will be responsible for appointing the new Italy CT, who will succeed Gennaro Gattuso in the summer. Initial steps have been taken, with the Lega Serie A seeing 18 out of 20 clubs endorse former CONI chief Malagò as their candidate for the presidential election scheduled for June 22.
Allegri: Malagò's Top Pick for Italy
According to Calciomercato, if Malagò secures the presidency, his primary choice for the new Italy coach would be Allegri. This prospect has become more realistic in recent weeks due to reported growing tensions behind the scenes at AC Milan.
The Rossoneri are experiencing a downturn in form, with consecutive Serie A defeats jeopardizing their Champions League qualification hopes. Allegri, who began his second tenure at San Siro last summer, may find an offer to manage the national team appealing. Sportitalia indicates that AC Milan's directors might not be entirely opposed to another managerial change for the upcoming season.
Furthermore, the coach himself is reportedly dissatisfied with the club's transfer strategy. Consequently, an offer to lead the Italian national team could prove genuinely tempting for all parties involved.
