Having endured a hugely disappointing season, AC Milan have wasted little time ringing the changes, announcing earlier this week that Max Allegri would return for a second stint at the club. The Rossoneri stumbled to an eighth-place finish in Serie A and lost the Coppa Italia Final to Bologna – a defeat analysed in this previous column – as coaches Paulo Fonseca and Sérgio Conceição both failed to make a positive impact. Fonseca was sacked in late December after winning just six of 17 Serie A fixtures with him at the helm. Conceição won the Italian Super Cup just days…

Dallas and San Antonio jumped to the front of the line in landing No. 1 and 2, respectively, but there’s still a host of other talented players. The Lakers aren’t one of those teams prepping, with their first round pick conveying to the Atlanta Hawks at No. 17. While a rookie may not be necessarily needle-moving for LA early, they’d still prefer to have a first round pick. Below, we’ll outline a deal that could help…
It was announced on Friday afternoon that Allegri is the new coach of Milan. He returns 11 years after his first tenure with the Rossoneri ended, and he faces the big task of leading a resurgence following a dire 2024-25 season. According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), it is likely that Allegri will bring forward the ‘raduno’, which is the start of preseason preparations. It is now expected that the team will reconvene at the training complex on Friday 4 July. The final decision will be made this week, but the coach wants to…
As Corriere dello Sport report, Tare wants Milan to become more Italian. This is something that goes against the trend of the RedBird-branded project, characterised – until a few months ago – by the choice of coaches and players from abroad. The idea is to build a squad with a few more homegrown players, capable of giving identity and a certain type of spirit to his teammates. And the sights have been set on a new man from Spalletti’s national team and captain of Torino. Firstly, it is important to outline that Ricci has been liked by Milan for a…
As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare for a pivotal offseason, one of the most intriguing developments is happening away from the hardwood. Luka Doncic is set to appear alongside LeBron James and Steve Nash on the Mind the Game podcast—a move that could signal a deeper commitment to growth and accountability. The Mind the Game podcast’s official X, formerly known as Twitter account confirmed the upcoming episode with a simple two-word message. Following the Lake Show’s disappointing first-round exit at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, this thoughtful pivot by Doncic might be exactly what the franchise and its cornerstone…
Last season, there was much talk about the lack of a constant presence at Milanello, despite the frequent visits and on-and-off appearances of Zlatan Ibrahimović, Giorgio Furlani, and Geoffrey Moncada. This didn’t seem to be enough for the players, nor for the coaches—one of the reasons why the ownership decided to take action by hiring a sporting director who will also take on this role among many others. That is clearly referring to the fact that Igli Tare will be a permanent presence at the Rossoneri training center. It will soon become a sort of headquarters for him, to prevent…
Milan have moved quickly in the last few days, from hiring Max Allegri to making plans for the summer mercato. Manchester City’s approach for Tijjani Reijnders has further accelerated the situation, as the English side want him before the Club World Cup. According to Mediaset (via MilanNews), the Rossoneri haven’t reached an agreement with City yet, but they are already making moves for a replacement: Samuele Ricci. The Italian was already on their radar, but the fact they missed out on European competitions put the pursuit in danger. With the money from Reijnders’ exit, however, they will be able to…
Many things are changing compared to the just-concluded season, but this revolution will not affect the number 10, who, by all accounts, will be one of the cornerstones of Massimiliano Allegri’s new era at Milan. The former Juventus coach has never hidden his admiration for the Portuguese talent, to the point that, during his time at Juventus, he often praised Leao, even as an opponent. It’s safe to say Allegri has long wanted to coach him: who better than Leao to bring out the Allegri trademarks of solid defending and deadly counterattacks? According to Corriere dello Sport, now that Allegri…
