AC Milan contact Mauricio Pochettino after Allegri dismissal

AC Milan have dismissed Massimiliano Allegri on Monday after a 1-2 defeat to Cagliari at San Siro. The loss eliminated Milan from next season's Champions League and prompted the club to seek a new head coach. The Italian side has reached out to Mauricio Pochettino as a potential replacement. Pochettino is currently managing the United States national team ahead of the upcoming World Cup.

Can Ancelotti become the first Italian to lift the World Cup with Brazil?

The 2026 World Cup will be co‑hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The defeat was described as a debacle. The club's home ground is the San Siro stadium in Milan. The appointment of a new manager will be decided in the coming weeks.
