Max in the balance: Cardinale will also have to evaluate the coach. And he: “I’m sorry, angry. We need to make an overall assessment”

Journalist

May 25, 2026 (changed at 00:24) – MILAN

Very delicate minutes for Massimiliano Allegri. Gerry Cardinale will also have to make decisions about him for next season and, after a sporting failure like this, Max is also inevitably in the balance. At the end of Milan-Cagliari, Allegri spoke to Dazn: “We defended very poorly as a team. I have nothing to reproach the boys for. Am I more out of Milan after this result? Now I’m sorry, angry, after we had put everything back together against Genoa. Reluctantly, with great bitterness, we have to accept it.” So no resignation for Max, neither in the locker room with the team nor in front of the cameras.

cheerful: evaluate the vintage

Allegri, evaluating the future, tries to look at the overall picture: “We need to evaluate the whole year as it was, the boys gave it their all. We made mistakes, I made mistakes in these six defeats. The result at the end of the year is normal for it to tip the evaluation one way but I think we will have to be very clear-headed to make an evaluation at the end.” Incredible to think that, with a draw, Milan would have gone to the Champions League: “We were too passive on the first and second goals. It had never happened. Evaluations will have to be made, mistakes were certainly made.”

ibra escorted

The ball then goes to Cardinale. The founder of RedBird left the stadium shortly after the final whistle together with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, without speaking to journalists. Ibra was escorted to the car park amidst insults from the fans. It will be up to them, especially Cardinale, to make decisions. Giorgio Furlani and Massimo Calvelli, however, remained at San Siro even after the end of the match. No player spoke to journalists and will not do so in the next few hours either. The word now goes to RedBird.
