GdS: Milan to be managed by Landucci vs. Bari – why Allegri will be absent

This weekend, AC Milan will return to competitive action. However, the big return will have to wait until the following weekend.

There is a level of romance to Massimiliano Allegri’s return, after dominating with Juventus, the pull of Milan was too great. With both taking a year out of their norms, the Italian on the sideline and the Rossoneri competing at the top, they have rekindled.

However, the ceremony for their re-union will not take place this weekend in front of a large San Siro crowd. Instead, they must wait to see the return.

Still waiting

One of Allegri’s most memorable moments is actually the reason why. As Gazzetta dello Sport recalls, the madness of the 2024 Coppa Italia final saw the Italian sent off after he kicked off on the sidelines, even ripping his tie off.

Because of these actions, the Sport Judge deemed that he would be suspended for two games due to his actions. So he missed his final game with the Bianconeri and will now miss his ‘first game’ for the Diavolo.

Though, he will still be present in the stands. In his place will be his assistant Marco Landucci. No, for the true return, Milan must wait for the return of Serie A action.
