AC Milan sack coach Allegri after Champions League failure

Senior club management officials also dismissed

AC Milan announced on Monday they had sacked coach Massimiliano Allegri and a host of senior club management after missing out on next season's Champions League.

The 19-time Serie A winners lost 2-1 at home to Cagliari on Sunday in the final game of the league game season, denying them a return to European football's leading competition.

"Effective immediately, we are parting ways with CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, head coach Massimiliano Allegri and technical director Geoffrey Moncada, the club said.

Allegri was appointed last May, returning to the northern club 11 years following his first tenure ended, after they also failed to qualify for the Champions League.
