Milan's Renaissance: Davy & Chin Discuss The Return of Max Allegri and Preview Milan's New Season

Send us a textThe triumphant return of Massimiliano Allegri to AC Milan has sparked renewed hope for a Rossoneri renaissance after last season's disappointments. Having missed Champions League qualification and struggling with managerial instability in 2024-25, Milan has restructured with purpose – appointing Tari as sporting director and welcoming back the coach who once led them to Serie A glory.Allegri's tactical transformation is already evident. The implementation of a 3-5-2 formation has repositioned Rafael Leão as a central striker rather than a left winger, while new signing Estupiñán replaces the departed Theo Hernández. The midfield has undergone a complete overhaul following Tijani Reijnders' move to Manchester City, with Samuel Ricci emerging as a revelation alongside new arrivals Luka Modrić and Jashari.Perhaps Milan's greatest advantage this season? The absence of European football. Playing just once weekly provides Allegri with valuable training time to instill his tactical vision and maintain player freshness throughout the campaign. This single-competition focus proved successful for Napoli's Scudetto run last season, and many believe Milan could follow a similar path.The arrival of veteran Luka Modrić transcends his on-field contributions, bringing a championship mentality to Milanello and becoming an immediate reference point for younger players. As Co-host Chin notes, " A mini God, whether Modrić plays or doesn't play, the fact that he's at Milan is exactly the kind of mentality Milan players need."With Napoli strengthening under Conte, Inter transitioning to a new coach, and Juventus rebuilding, the Serie A title race appears wide open. Milan's disciplined structure, talented squad, and Allegri's winning mentality position them as legitimate contenders. Can the Rossoneri reclaim their place at the summit of Italian football? Time will tell.Support the show
