MN: ‘The Allegri cure is working’ – Milan and Leao find new life under new management

This summer, Massimiliano Allegri is already breathing new life back into AC Milan, with many feeling optimistic about what is to come. 

Last summer, the feeling of pessimism never really ended. In fact, it was probably worsened by the seemingly oblivious members of the management, who continued to refer to a rhetoric about the Scudetto being possible.

It probably extends past that, with Stefano Pioli’s final season also being pretty difficult. However, there is a new feeling surrounding Milan now, thanks to Allegri’s (short) work so far.

The Allegri cure

As MilanNews writes, the ‘Allegri cure is working’ already, sooner than most would have imagined it to. The team are more together, knowing that they have to bounce back, whilst individuals are also showing more.

Look at Rafael Leao, for example, who has really stepped up in pre-season. Last season was hit and miss for the star, but with centrality, both literally and in the view of the squad, he has stepped up again. Already, the relationship is blossoming, with all parties looking to help each other.

Then, there is the general belief in Leao, too. Allegri has constantly been linked to the Portuguese whenever the Diavolo have considered a managerial change. So, the fact that it is now working is no shock. After all, the plan for Leao has probably been hypothesised for months now.
