AC Milan’s failure to qualify for the Champions League is expected to drive significant changes beyond management. Within 24 hours of the defeat, Massimiliano Allegri, Igli Tare, Geoffrey Moncada, and Giorgio Furlani were identified as those who paid the price, with further big changes anticipated.
