Allegri’s Return Sparks Hope for AC Milan Revival
Massimiliano Allegri is back at the helm of AC Milan for another tenure, eager to turn around the club’s fortunes after a lackluster 2024-25 season that saw them finish eighth in Serie A and lose the Coppa Italia final to Bologna. Without European commitments this year, the Rossoneri can channel all their energy into dominating domestic leagues.
Christian Pulisic’s Key Contributions and Pre-Season Optimism
As a pivotal figure for Milan, Christian Pulisic is set to deliver once more, building on his impressive tally of 17 goals and 10 assists across all tournaments last season. The team has already notched victories against powerhouses like Arsenal and Liverpool during warm-up matches, and Pulisic believes Allegri is off to an impressive launch at the iconic San Siro stadium.
In a recent chat with Gazzetta dello Sport, he shared: “From what I’ve seen, Allegri is kicking things off impressively. With his experience guiding top talents, he excels at communicating with the squad, fostering a solid team bond, and emphasizing robust defensive structure, which is crucial for generating attacking chances.”

When questioned about his targets for the new term, Pulisic emphasized a drive for constant progress. The American forward expanded: “Right from the beginning at Milan, I’ve enjoyed a sense of liberty, and I sense the confidence placed in me by the entire club-from fellow players and the manager to the executives and supporters.
“The absence of the Champions League will be felt; that’s our ultimate stage. We’re determined to secure a spot there next time around-it’s the pinnacle of continental football, and Milan belongs in it. Serie A is packed with formidable sides. I wouldn’t bet on just Napoli and Inter dominating, as they’ll encounter tough challenges from various rivals. Our plan is to rack up victories and climb the standings as much as possible.”
AC Milan’s Pre-Season Journey and Upcoming Fixtures
Currently, Milan is Down Under in Australia for their preparatory phase, with a match against Perth Glory on the horizon. Following that, they’ll return to Europe to take on Leeds United and Chelsea in exhibition games, before diving into the Coppa Italia against Bari on August 17. Recent updates show Milan’s pre-season form holding strong, with Pulisic contributing to a notable win over a Premier League side, underscoring the team’s growing cohesion under Allegri-echoing trends where clubs like Milan have historically rebounded by prioritizing tactical discipline, much like Juventus did during Allegri’s previous successful spells.
