🔥 Massimiliano Allegri was linked with the Italy national team job following Gennaro Gattuso’s resignation after the World Cup qualifying playoff defeat, but the AC Milan coach stated on Saturday that he hasn’t considered the role at all.
⚽ Allegri said in a press conference before the Serie A match against Napoli: "As an Italian, I feel deeply sorry for not qualifying, but this should be seen as an opportunity to grow and set a strategic vision for the next ten years."
💬 He added: "We have good players in Italy; there’s no need to start from scratch. Solutions exist, and what we need is to know how to find them."
🔥 Regarding the Italy job, Allegri said: "I started my journey with Milan last year, and now we must focus on finishing the season well and qualifying for the Champions League. I haven’t thought about it yet. I’m fine at Milan and hope to stay here for a long time."
📊 Milan is currently second in Serie A, six points behind Inter Milan and one point behind Napoli, with eight matches remaining and fierce competition for the Champions League spots.
💪 Allegri concluded: "Monday’s match will be fantastic between the second and third place teams. Now the decisive stage begins, the most important moment."
