MILAN (The Thursday Times) — RedBird Capital Partners has announced a major reset at AC Milan after what it described as an “unequivocal failure” to meet the club’s season objectives.
In an official statement dated 25 May 2026, the club said the mandate for the season was to return AC Milan to the Champions League and build a foundation for consistent success at the top of Serie A. RedBird said Milan had spent much of the season in the top two and looked capable of competing for the Scudetto, but the final stretch of the campaign fell well below expectations.
The statement confirmed that, effective immediately, AC Milan is parting ways with CEO Giorgio Furlani, Sporting Director Igli Tare, Head Coach Massimiliano Allegri, and Technical Director Geoffrey Moncada.
RedBird thanked each of them for their work and dedication during their respective tenures, but said the club now requires “change and a comprehensive reorganisation of football operations”.
The decision marks one of the most significant leadership changes at Milan in recent years, with ownership moving not only against the head coach but also the executive and technical structure around him.
Further announcements on new appointments will be made in due course, with RedBird saying the goal is to ensure AC Milan is “ready and well prepared” for next season.
For Milan supporters, the message is clear: the season has been judged a failure, and RedBird is now preparing a full rebuild of the club’s football leadership.
