Milan secured a win over Genoa while keeping their top-four hopes alive for the 2025-2026 Serie A season. A victory against Cagliari would confirm a Champions League spot, while a draw could create complex head-to-head scenarios depending on results involving Como, Juventus, and Roma. Milan are positioned well with a tie, but a loss could jeopardize European qualification. Recent form has fueled a new crisis, with rumors about summer changes to leadership and coaching. Reports have linked potential departures and replacements across key figures, including Tare, Cardinale’s involvement, Allegri’s future, and possible CEO changes involving Furlani, Galliani, or Massimo Calvelli. Player recruitment rumors continue, with another major squad rebuild expected.
"Milan beat Genoa in less than convincing fashion to preserve the shot for a top four finish for the 2025-2026 Serie A season. As it turned out destiny is still in the team's own hands and a win versus Cagliari will confirm a Champions League spot. A tie opens up the potential for a three way head to head mini league if Como and Juventus win and an even bigger four team league if Roma tie. Roma is tied with Milan but a head to head with Roma alone has Milan ahead, if both teams win. All in all Milan are in a pretty good position with a tie but a loss can easily lead to missing out on the riches that the European spot brings."
"The recent form has led to yet another crisis. There are all sorts of rumours and claims on what will happen in the summer. Earlier reports had Tare the first casualty. Then Cardinale arrived for an in person inspection of sorts and things seem to have changed somewhat. Every scenario is reported as a possibility. Allegri could remain and be supported with investment. Furlani, subject of the wrath of fans and curva sud, could be the first to replaced. Ibra, rumoured to have leaked some management change possibilities to players, could go. Moncada could be tempted by Nice or Sevilla. Speculation has created a chaotic atmosphere leading up to this season finale."
"On the incoming front there are renewed rumours about Galliani returning, possibly to replace Furlani as CEO. If not Galliani then Massimo Calvelli who is part of the RedBird leadership could be tasked with recruiting a Furlani replacement with Giovanni Carnevali of Sassulo or Giovanni Carnevali of Bologna the currently circulating names. The player front will see some changes as well. Another revolution or year zero seems inevitable. Previous seasons' wholesale changes have not really always led to much but the 2026 calendar year form has necessitated another round of squad building. It remains to be seen if Allegri, or any possible future coach, will get the players for a workable format"
