Cardinale Praises Milan After Derby Win, Outlines Future Plans for Allegri
Following AC Milan's crucial 1-0 derby triumph over Inter, owner Gerry Cardinale reportedly visited the Rossoneri dressing room to extend his congratulations. His presence not only celebrated the victory but also reaffirmed the club's commitment to Massimiliano Allegri remaining at the helm beyond the current season.
Sources indicate that Cardinale expressed immense pride in the team's spirit and resilience, thanking the players, staff, and all those working diligently behind the scenes. He also hinted at a swift return to San Siro to witness future matches.
Currently, Milan holds second place in the Serie A standings, trailing Inter by seven points. Cardinale conveyed his satisfaction not only with the team's performance and results but also with the efforts of directors Giorgio Furlani and Igli Tare, alongside his key advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Cardinale maintains regular communication with the club's management, expressing confidence that the project is progressing positively under Allegri's leadership.
Allegri is considered a vital asset, enjoying Cardinale's full trust. His current contract with Milan extends until 2027, featuring an automatic extension option to 2028 should the team secure Champions League qualification this season. The club possesses the flexibility to activate this clause irrespective of their final league position and plans to present Allegri with a new contract once a Champions League spot is definitively secured.
