AC Milan Rises to the Top: Allegri's Return to Juventus Stadium

AC Milan's rise in Serie A continues under Massimiliano Allegri, who revives the team's fortunes following his return to the club.

The 2025-26 Serie A season commenced in Italy, with Napoli kickstarting their title defense after claiming their fourth Scudetto on the final matchday of the previous season. Inter, Juventus, and AC Milan are contenders against the team led by Antonio Conte, while AS Roma, Atalanta, Lazio, Fiorentina, Bologna, and Como vie for a European competition spot.

How Allegri Turned Things Around

In just seven matches, a noticeable change cloaked AC Milan, largely due to the team’s results influenced by Massimiliano Allegri’s return as manager. Previously coaching the Rossoneri from 2010 to 2014, Allegri’s leadership has propelled AC Milan to the top of the Serie A standings, where they are level on points with Napoli and AS Roma. Recently, they triumphed over the squad coached by Conte, attributed to another remarkable performance from U.S. men’s national team star Christian Pulisic.

Allegri instilled a winning mindset along with confidence that the players had seemed to lose over the past season. He is set to make an emotional comeback to Allianz Stadium in Turin, where he previously managed Juventus. Despite a bittersweet end with the club when he was dismissed following the last trophy win, he is likely to receive a warm welcome from the fans to whom he has delivered five Serie A titles and several other accolades.
