Allegri was fired after AC Milan failed to qualify for the Champions League following a sharp decline in the final ten games. With five matches remaining, Milan led fifth place by eight points, but they missed out after losing to Cagliari on the final day. Andoni Iraola is presented as a frontrunner, with expectations that he will leave Bournemouth after guiding them to sixth in the Premier League. Matteo Moretto reported that Iraola had been contacted before Allegri’s dismissal. Gianluca Di Marzio said earlier targets Cesc Fabregas, Enzo Maresca, and Xabi Alonso are no longer available, citing commitments to Como, Chelsea, and Manchester City, respectively.
"Allegri was fired on Monday following the club's failure to qualify for the Champions League, which came after a huge decline in the last 10 games of the season. In fact, with five games left they had an eight-point over fifth place, but they missed out on the final day after losing to Cagliari."
"Who might replace him? Andoni Iraola seems to be one of the frontrunners. He will leave Bournemouth having guided them to a very impressive sixth-placed finish in the Premier League, and Matteo Moretto actually reported that he was spoken to before Allegri's dismissal."
""But do you know which names were on AC Milan's dream list a few months ago? There were three names: Cesc Fabregas, Enzo Maresca, and Xabi Alonso," he said (via MilanNews). "All three, for one reason or another, are now unreachable. Fabregas because he won't leave Como, especially after winning the Champions League. Xabi Alonso because he signed with Chelsea a few weeks ago.""
""Enzo Maresca because he will be the new manager of Manchester City. Today, Milan is faced with a difficult decision, a choice that must, however, represent a sign of change.""
