"Massimiliano Allegri was caught on camera as he vented his frustration at the end of Cagliari-Milan, just seconds before the referee blew his whistle for full-time. Allegri is known as a bit of a hot-head in the dugout, not afraid to express his emotions when needed. Let's put it this way: throughout the years, we have seen the manager throw off his suit jacket and tie many times."
"That allowed Cagliari's goalkeeper to send the ball towards Milan's penalty box, and Alexis Saelemaekers ended up intercepting the ball with a backheel touch. However, that's when Maignan had to sprint to save the ball from going out for a corner."
"Fullkrug was supposed to play a wide ball there, but instead he played it inside. I was angry about that, because with 10 seconds left, you can't concede a corner because then there's a scramble in the box," he stated."
Massimiliano Allegri displayed visible frustration on the sidelines seconds before full-time as Milan held a 1-0 lead over Cagliari. Cameras captured the manager looking upset despite keeping his suit jacket and tie on. The flare-up followed a squandered counter-attack by Niclas Fullkrug and Christian Pulisic, when a pass failed to reach Pulisic’s stride and allowed Cagliari’s goalkeeper to send the ball back into Milan’s box. Alexis Saelemaekers intercepted with a backheel, and Mike Maignan sprinted to prevent a corner. Allegri said his anger stemmed from the wasted counter-attack and the danger of conceding a late corner.
