Milan: AC Milan announced on Monday that they had dismissed coach, Massimiliano Allegri, following a decline in the team's results at the end of the season and its failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Milan finished the Serie A season in fifth place. The club also announced the dismissal of several senior executives.

According to Qatar News Agency, Allegri concluded his Serie A campaign with the team in a 2-1 home loss to Cagliari on Sunday, leaving Milan with just one win in its last four matches. Allegri had returned to coach Milan this season for a second spell after previously leading the club from 2010 to 2014. The team had contended for the league title for much of the season before suffering a marked decline in form in recent weeks.
