And finally, he is gone. AT LAST! After somehow hanging onto the job for well over a year, and even deciding when HE would leave......Allegri finally took things too far (although he had already crossed the line many times before). Allowing a NINETEEN YEAR OLD to score FOUR goals against him was far too much of an insult for Berlusconi to bear. He stepped in and did something that needed to be done A LONG TIME AGO......HE KICKED HIS ASS OUT!
As AC Milan went ahead, it seemed like an EXPECTED win, albeit, for a struggling team. Then fate stepped in, and Berardi sliced and diced and mocked the Milan defence. It was the final straw. To allow a team who I believe are entering the Serie A for the FIRST time in their history and allowing a young man to score not one, not TWO, NOT A HAT TRICK, BUT A FOUR GOAL BEATDOWN THAT EXPOSED THE DESPICABLE MILAN DEFENCE. Awful, awful. Allegri ought to have handed in his resignation. That was the only honorable thing for him to do after such a match. The fact that he still awaited the sack scares me a little. Did he really think that Milan fans would ALLOW him to coach the team again after that kind of a loss? Did he really think he deserved another chance all because they LUCKILY got through to the knockout stage of the Champions League?
Allegri's name will now forever be poisonous in the history of Milan. Nobody will remember the league titles he won...or rather...that IBRAHIMOVIC won. People remember your last meal. Allegri has BROUGHT DOWN the Milan name and has dragged this great club through the mud and made them a laughing stock. TWENTY FUCKING POINTS BEHIND THE THIRD PLACED TEAM IS MIND-BOGGLING. I have wanted to ignore the league standings, but finding that out is just too scary.
Allegri is going to go down in history as having been the coach that gave Milan their worst EVER league performance. That is what he will have to live with and he will need to ask himself why he did not just resign earlier and spare himself the infamy that he now has.
It's over, Allegri is gone and Milan must now rebuild. It's quite sad that Milan won't be playing any Champions League football next season, but it's not the end of the world. It happened to Juventus and they managed to bounce on back. This season is a write-off and THEY ARE NOT WINNING THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SO DON'T GET ANY IDEAS. It all starts with getting the right coach, either Pippo or Seedorf and aiming to get back in the top three next season by getting better players, SELLING THE BRICKS, and get back to the PROPER Milan football that we know this team for. A great defence, and a precise and pragmatic counter-attack that promotes short passes rather than that AWFUL long ball crap. Milan.......IT'S TIME TO BE REBORN.
