AC Milan’s match against Cagliari is framed as a decisive step toward Champions League qualification. A win would secure qualification, while a draw could also be sufficient. Reports indicate that if Milan qualifies, Massimiliano Allegri’s chances of staying for next season would rise significantly. Qualification could also give Allegri greater influence over the club’s overall direction. Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Allegri would have a say regarding the future of sporting director Igli Tare. Allegri has previously praised Tare and is believed to want to continue working together, which could reverse recent expectations that Tare might leave.
"Igli Tare seemed destined to leave AC Milan just a week ago, but according to the latest reports, the fact that Massimiliano Allegri might stay means he might too. Tonight's clash between Milan and Cagliari can only be described as a Champions League decider, as can the games of Roma, Como and Juventus. A win is enough for the Rossoneri to secure their spot, which is ultimately what they must aim for even if a draw could do the trick too."
"With Champions League qualification, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport this morning (see photo below), the chances of seeing Allegri on the bench next season would increase a lot. At the same time, he could get more of a say on the overall direction of the club."
"Allegri will definitely 'have a say' regarding the future of the sporting director Tare. The gaffer has previously praised him as the two have a very good relationship, and the feeling is that they want to continue together."
"Therefore, if Allegri stays, then he could push for Milan to keep Tare around as well. It would be quite the U-turn compared to recent weeks, especially since some reports more or less counted him out for next season already. Only time will tell what is actually the case."
