GdS: ‘Ready, Max?’ – Furlani begins discussions with Allegri through phone call | OneFootball

AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani had a telephone conversation with Massimiliano Allegri, amid the speculation regarding a potential return to the club.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport report this morning, it all starts with a phone call. Allegri returned to Juventus on a day in July 2021, and he gave some background on it later: “Other clubs approached me, but in the morning I woke up at 8, called Andrea Agnelli and said ‘see you tonight’.”

A call from Furlani

Whether Allegri will also return to Milan remains to be seen, but there has already been a chat over the phone. It is different from the one with Agnelli, but interesting for the future of the club. Furlani and the Italian coach spoke on the phone a few days ago through a mutual friend.

They don’t know each other well but the current events of the season put them on the same path. Furlani is the man who will choose Milan’s next sporting director and, together with him, the new coach. Allegri, on the other hand, is waiting for the right offer.

Furlani and Allegri did not have a business phone call. They did not discuss the new Milan but there will be time for that. A bridge has been created thought and it could be important for Max, who did not coach last season and feels ready to return. With the right proposal, he would return to Milan.

The CEO meanwhile has reinforced his centrality in the management of the club in the last month meaning he will have the final say on the most important decisions, but for now he has other appointments on his agenda.

More meetings planned

At present Furlani is in Dubai for commercial commitments and in the coming weeks he will meet with some sporting directors. At least four: Fabio Paratici, Igli Tare, Markus Krosche and Thiago Scuro. In the last week of March and especially in April, things will get serious.

Paratici and Tare are the favourites in a complex story but there is still a lot to be written. Meanwhile, Allegri wants a job in Italy having rejected some Saudi clubs. The challenge of a second spell with the Rossoneri attracts him, because he considers the squad interesting, with strengths and weaknesses.

The issue is obviously much more complex and involves the management of the club, the role of the coach and above all the project for the next seasons, but an initial interest is clear. Furlani knows that, if necessary, he can call for further information. Even at 8 in the morning.
