“At the moment, there's a kind of armed peace at Milan where everyone talks behind each other's backs without telling each other what they really think, except Allegri and Ibrahimovic, who have had a falling out and are no longer seeing each other,” he said (via Calciomercato.com).

In the first half of the season, Milan had the second-best defence in the league (15 goals conceded, tied with Inter, Napoli and Como), a detail that pushed Massimiliano Allegri's men to within three points of the top spot. At one point, it was the best in Europe.

Having finished seventh in the table during the regular season, Juve Stabia headed into a single knockout game against Modena away from home hoping to set up a two-legged semi-final tie against Monza. It was a tight affair in which Abate's side probed a bit more, then they found the decisive goal from a corner four minutes from time. A corner wasn't properly cleared and it allowed the Milan loanee Zeroli to finish with a sublime overhead kick, sparking sheer jubilation.

Let's say Furlani informed Gerry Cardinale of his unwillingness to continue as CEO. The board acknowledge this communication and formally revoked the mandate pursuant to Article 2381 of the Italian Civil Code. Furlani remains a full director - with the associated rights, duties, and responsibilities - but no longer holds executive powers. This is the smoothest scenario from a business continuity perspective. It allows for a smooth transition, appointing a new CEO from among the existing directors.

Since the turn of the year, injuries or not, he has not provided much positive for Allegri. Despite being the centrepiece of his team in the summer, he is now the furthest thing from that. It seems their relationship is done and the Portuguese may leave this summer.

Milan's game against Genoa this week needs to be a winning game. They cannot afford any more points dropped and several members of the fanbase seems to think that the season is already over, even if their fate is still in their hands...

According to Corriere della Sera (via Calciomercato.com), Ibrahimovic is 'said to be waiting in the background for a possible new change at the top of the club'. Having been sidelined a bit over the past few months, the changes could see him rise to prominence again.

La Gazzetta dello Sport point out how Milan went into the game with six players who were one yellow card away from hitting the threshold, and therefore having to serve a one-game ban at the crucial juncture of the season.

Milan Futuro finished fourth in the table which pitted them against Chievo Verona, a team they had already beaten twice in the regular season. Due to the regulations, they knew they needed to win inside 120 minutes, as their hosts had the 'advantage'. The result hung in the balance until right at the end after a 1-1 draw in normal time.
