Milan identify Allegri as top coaching choice for next season
Milan have placed Massimiliano Allegri at the centre of their future project, believing that the former Juventus coach is the right profile to guide the club through a challenging period in its history.
The Rossoneri once again found themselves contemplating a coaching change after Sergio Conceiçao failed to revive the team's fortunes following his appointment, which came after Paulo Fonseca's dismissal last December.
With the former Porto boss extremely unlikely to remain at the helm of the team beyond the end of the season, Milan are studying their next moves, with the choice of a new manager emerging as one of their most delicate decisions.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, owner Gerry Cardinale and CEO Giorgio Furlani recently met in New York to discuss the club's future plans, agreeing that Massimiliano Allegri's return to the San Siro would serve as a guarantee to get the club back on track.
The pink newspaper reported that the club is actively working to convince the Italian coach to take charge of the Rossoneri starting next summer, with his experience, flexibility, and winning pedigree considered appealing traits by a club that cannot afford to make another wrong choice.
While profiles like Roberto De Zerbi and Cesc Fabregas remain viable alternatives, Milan now consider Allegri as their preferred option and will actively try to bring him back to the club.
Meanwhile, Conceiçao's job is considered far from secure, as a recent report suggests the Diavolo could be ready to sack him before the end of the season if they don't win at Lecce this weekend, following three consecutive league defeats.

Milei meets Pope Leo, confirms visit to Argentina
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Argentina's President Javier Milei held his first official audience with Pope Leo at the Vatican on Saturday where he confirmed that the pontiff will visit the South American country, according to the presidential spokesman. No further details of the planned visit were disclosed on Saturday. Milei had a tense relationship with Pope Francis, the late Argentine pope who never returned to his native country during his 12-year papacy, potentially signaling the start of a new diplomatic chapter. "The Pope confirmed to the President during our recent meeting that he will visit Argentina," Manuel Adorni, the presidential spokesperson wrote via social media. The papal visit could take place as soon as next year, according to Argentina's daily newspaper La Nación, as part of a tour that would include stops in Uruguay and Peru, where Leo, the first U.S. pope, resided for nearly 20 years. Milei, a libertarian and ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, was not present at the inauguration ceremony of the new head of the Catholic Church due to local legislative elections he was required to attend. Discussions between the two parties on Saturday were described as "cordial" and addressed issues of "common interest such as socioeconomic progress, the fight against poverty, and the commitment to social cohesion, in addition to addressing ongoing conflicts," the Vatican later said in a statement. Milei met Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Friday in Rome as part of his visit, where an agreement between Italian energy group Eni and Argentina's state-owned energy firm YPF was signed.

Inter Milan Will Only Move For PSG Star If He's Available On Free Transfer Next Summer
Inter Milan Will Only Move For PSG Star If He's Available On Free Transfer Next Summer Inter Milan will only make a move for PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma if it is on a free transfer next summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement The future of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is still uncertain. The 26-year-old's contract with PSG runs out at the end of next June. He is still on the same five-year deal that he signed when he joined the club on a free transfer from AC Milan in the summer of 2021. As of yet, it is far from clear whether Donnarumma and PSG will agree a new deal. Inter Milan Will Only Move For Gianluigi Donnarumma On A Free Transfer BUDAPEST, HUNGARY – SEPTEMBER 09: Gianlugi Donnarumma of Italy celebrates the win at the end of the UEFA Nations League 2024/25 League A Group A2 match between Israel and Italy at Bozsik Stadion on September 09, 2024 in Budapest, Hungary. (Photo by) Should Donnarumma not extend his contract, then he could be available on a free transfer next summer. He could leave his club at the end of his contract for the second time in his career. Advertisement And in that case, Inter Milan would certainly be interested. The Nerazzurri's penchant for big free transfer signings is no secret. And such deals don't come much bigger than Gianluigi Donnarumma. Therefore, Inter are paying close attention to the Italy captain's situation in the French capital. However, on the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain could even look to sell Donnarumma this summer. If the 26-year-old doesn't sign a new deal, then this would be their last big chance to cash in. According to the Gazzetta, however, Inter would not move for Donnarumma in that case. They would only be interested in signing the former Milan keeper on a free transfer in twelve months' time.
