AC Milan pursued Champions League qualification throughout the season rather than aiming for the Scudetto, even when a title challenge seemed possible. They failed to qualify, and a recent defeat means they will play in the Europa League next season. The team’s pattern of results is described as similar to the end of the previous campaign, including losses at San Siro against opponents who were not expected to win. The loss has triggered questions about the management and the manager. Allegri is reported to be under internal pressure and could face dismissal for not returning the club to the Champions League. Further changes may occur soon.
"Throughout this season, Massimiliano Allegri has stated that AC Milan's only aim was to reach the Champions League. However, they failed to qualify. It has been a season of Champions League ambitions, rather than hopes for the Scudetto, even when it was a feasible goal. Now, the egg is on the face of Milan. Yesterday's loss meant they will play in the Europa League next season and questions are being asked of everyone."
"Considering the recent run, it is not even a surprise that the Rossoneri couldn't get over the line. They started the season as they finished it, with a loss at San Siro against a side who shouldn't have won (with the utmost respect). Of course, the contexts were different. Yet, in both cases, the Diavolo just rolled over for their opposition and let them get the advantage."
"As a result of the defeat, questions are being asked of the management and the manager. Indeed, MilanNews writes that Allegri is under fire internally and could face the sack for his failure to get the club back into the Champions League. Recently, he has appeared the most likely candidate to stay this summer. However, this changes everything and in the next few days, if not the next few weeks, changes cannot be ruled out."
"Another reset could well be on the cards."
