⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2025/2026 ⚽

Experience alone is not enough to bring a team to become a champion. Allegri needs to get support from management to make player purchases that Allegri needs. Many names of players are rumored to be Milan targets, but until now there has been no deal, except Modric just almost coming to Milan. If management does not immediately make a decision to support to buying player as Allegri expects, then it will be difficult for Milan to be better next season. Maybe they are just made a target for UCL, not to be a champion.

Yes. It's not enough to bring the team out as champions at the end of the season. I think just maximizing the existing squad is also not enough to convince a team to come out as a winner without any additional new ammunition that is considered suitable for the coach's game strategy.
Allegri is known to have cold hands but so far it is rare to hear the names of famous players who come to AC Milan, only Modric who has definitely joined after the FIFA Club World Cup finished strengthening Real Madrid. Modric came but Reijnders left.

many write about Allegri Massimiliano, not knowing the person, I as a fan of Italian football and Max I have to say that he is truly a great coach even if I don't support Juventus what he did was incredible and I think he is truly an excellent purchase for Milan who could return to winning, Max has character to sell and that is what Milan needs

You're right, a true professional who has proven it many times. There will always be criticism directed at Max, but his past results are enough to shut the critics up. I also follow serie A.I'm a Napoli fan, but i'm always glad to see Allegri because I know he's a valuable coach who can turn any team he leads into a machine.

AC Milan started the transfer market by signing Massimiliano Allegri as their new head coach until 2027.

Regarding the news of Luka Modric, I already know the news but the news related to Allegri becoming AC Milan coach seems like I just found out from your post. I think this is a good step for Milan who still trust Allegri to bring Milan back to a higher level.

It has been since 30 May 2025 he became the current head coach of AC Milan. and now, AC Milan's target is to get some talented players to improve their squad after the failure in last season.

Yes, that's what Milan should do, perfect the team by not selling players who have a positive contribution to the club. However, not with Milan who often selling players who are on fire. Many fans including me, were disappointed with Reijnders move, he was still young and a player who performed well last season and was replaced by a player who was quite old. Indeed, Milan needs old players to be "advisors" for players on the field. Milan without old players is like not Milan. This has become a culture at AC Milan that always brings in old players. Not to underestimate Modric ability, but he may not be a player who can play all 38 matches for 90 minutes.

It is the custom of Milan to take players who are a bit old but still very good, now it comes to mind when they gave away Pirlo who at Juventus made a panic, however cheerful he can do very well and manage this wonderful group, lately Milan is not having a good time, but as I say cheerful can do very well

Allegri is an excellent coach, without a doubt one of the best Italian coaches at the moment, and I am sure he will be able to do well with Milan too. Let's remember that Milan will not have European commitments this year, so Allegri will be able to work well and calmly on the championship! As Conte did last championship, then won with Napoli
Could it lead to the Scudetto victory? That cannot be said, this year the competition will be fierce. Napoli starts with an advantage, Inter wants revenge and Juventus is not to be completely excluded, so the fight in my opinion will be between Inter Napoli Milan and Juventus

You know there has been nearly a month since Gasperini signed for Roma. But there is still no deal done by them so far if I'm not wrong. They are losing players at the same time. I wonder when they will start making moves.

I believe in Gasperini to be honest. He can continue from where Ranieri left. He had a really decent time at Atalanta. They were competitive most of the time. They regularly joined the Champions League.

[Lida93]

AC Milan started the transfer market by signing Massimiliano Allegri as their new head coach until 2027.
However, they have not officially signed any players.
It's just that there was an agreement with Luca Modric before, just waiting for Modric to finish his match at the Club World Cup.

Regarding the news of Luka Modric, I already know the news but the news related to Allegri becoming AC Milan coach seems like I just found out from your post. I think this is a good step for Milan who still trust Allegri to bring Milan back to a higher level. It's like old love blossomed again and hope Milan can be a strong contender in the coming season. Seeing the transfers made by Milan at this time does not seem to be done publicly as if there are no rumors but surprisingly brings in new players. Hopefully Milan will not appear like last season to worry fans.

Allegri's return to Milan would really be a great sigh of relief for the club because the coaching aspect is one area that I feel Milan has been struggling with since the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, there has been different people that have stepped into that position but none has come close to achieving something worthwhile but I believe with a competent coach like Allegri leading Milan, then it's obvious that Milan would be getting back to those days when they will once again contend for the Scudetto  and the UCL.

There is still enough time to make agreements, let's say that if there hadn't been the Club World Cup in between, the transfer market would have started in July so let's say Roma is on track with the times! Of course we all expect them to make good purchases, but we will see how their situation evolves in the coming days!
By the way, if I remember correctly, Roma has problems with the FFP, before proceeding with the purchases they must necessarily sell someone and must collect around 60 million by June 30th to avoid incurring penalties.

I don't know what Inter's objective is, but they signed a very young player, what caught my attention is that he is a striker who is 21 years old, his name is Yoan Bonny, he played for Parma.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1939054210055885128

Most of the time with the previous coach I saw Inter playing with two strikers. Maybe the new coach will bring changes to Inter's formation and style of play. Honestly, it was very difficult for me to believe that Inter would be able to be champions. I see Napoli with greater chances. Como also made a signing, they signed Jayden Addai, who plays at AZ.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1939053328421331098

Last season Cesc Fàbregas did a good job finishing in 10th position, will he be able to improve his position next season?

Bonny seems like a good striker who has a lot of potential and could still grow a lot, I just hope that this purchase doesn't mean that they will want to sell Pio Esposito, For me Pio Esposito must stay and he is a real striker, he is 19 years old and is already ready for the top Italian championship

Como is also having a great transfer campaign, this means that they will want to aim for better objectives than last season

At that time, Pirlo contract was not extended by AC Milan, because Pirlo rejected the offer, he was afraid not getting enough playing opportunities in Milan. also, Allegri as Milan coach, preferred to use van Bommel and Ambrossino, which is why Pirlo was reject to extend his contract with Milan and joined Juventus on a free transfer. Many fans regretted Pirlo move, But many are also angry, because he chose Milan main rival, Juventus as his choice. He left because of Allegri strategy was to be the main reason why Pirlo left Milan.

[masulum]

Allegri made a good decision by closing the opportunity for other clubs to bid for Leao, because he said Leao would not be sold and was included in one of the players to fulfill his strategy. In addition to Leao, Loftus-Cheek will also be given more playing time by Allegri. Saelemaekers will also return to AC Milan and reject Roma offer. Jovic will leave AC Milan, but Milan has managed to get Ricci. Rumors also say that Milan will give several young players from the academy the opportunity to be included in the main squad, whether this rumor is true or not, I tried to find more detailed information but have not found it.

[CLS63]

By the way, if I remember correctly, Roma has problems with the FFP, before proceeding with the purchases they must necessarily sell someone and must collect around 60 million by June 30th to avoid incurring penalties.

I didn't know about that. €60m is not a very low amount. They took some steps when it comes to selling players. Enzo Le Fée, Dahl and Zalewski have been sold for a total around €40m. But it was still not enough for the needed amount.

They sold Abraham for €20m as well as far as I know. What now? If Abraham's papers were handled before the deadline then there shouldn't be any problem left. Otherwise I wonder in what way Roma will be penalized.

I think the rumor will be real even though we haven't found a real source but I remember that Milan rarely has rumors but steps quietly and real. If I think logically, Milan does have a real goal of giving opportunities to academy players with the aim of overhauling without spending more money.
Meanwhile, Allegri believes that he is able to overcome all of this and will provide real evidence next season. Hopefully he will not disappoint Milan fans.

From what we can read on newspapers today seems like As Roma almost reached fair play agreement they dealt with Uefa in 2022, there is only a few millions difference to reach the target so they only risk a a pecuniary sanction and not a limitation on the freedom of purchasing operations on the market or a restriction on the UEFA lists.
Roma management decided it was better to pay a sanction than rather than sacrifice some essential players and I think it was a wise decision on their side.

only 1 news I found related to this rumor, that was only local Indonesian media, I tried using several keywords to find relevant information but have not found it. However, it seems that the news is more about Milan's interest in Jashari, a young player who has currently expressed his interest in becoming a Milan player, but the club has not reached an agreement yet. Milan are quite active in the transfer market at the moment, after several players left Milan who may not fit Allegri strategy.

While it is true that they have gotten away with it this time, that still meant selling bunch of players. Plus, they are not off the woods yet, they need to keep this up, which means, even though they are making money with the way they are right now, they can't spend it, and they need to handle that difference. If they can get away with any of this then they need to figure out how to get better results without spending much money.

Ranieri did a great job last year, but they do not have unlimited money at the moment, so it won't be easy for them to build a team that can do great for him. If they do not spend money, then they can't build a good squad, if they can't build a good squad, they can't finish high up in position, if they do not finish high up in position, they can't pay their debt, and if they can't pay their debt, then they can't spend money and it's a vicious cycle.

Allegri's return to Milan would really be a great sigh of relief for the club because the coaching aspect is one area that I feel Milan has been struggling with since the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, there has been different people that have stepped into that position but none has come close to achieving something worthwhile but I believe with a competent coach like Allegri leading Milan, then it's obvious that Milan would be getting back to those days when they will once again contend for the Scudetto  and the UCL.

Yes, with Allegri's funds, there may be a difference in appearance and also the strategy used. Like after Tijjani Reijnders left for Man City, Allegri also did not intend to replace his position directly. Because he wanted a slightly different midfield tactic. He will optimize midfielders who are like Modric's character.

Will it really work?
We'll see it, because Allegri is a professional and experienced coach who really understand how to manage any club appropriately.

We know Allegri well here in Italy, he is an excellent coach and a winner. He won with both Milan and Juventus.
I am sure that Igli Tare will provide them with the best players they can afford and create a competitive team to win the championship.
Reijnders I would have kept him for another year, in my humble opinion they sold him for a really low price. He was the best midfielder both for Milan and for the whole championship, they should have aimed to get more from these transfers
