Allegri and Napoli must wait a little longer for Milan termination

Allegri and Napoli must wait a little longer for Milan termination Max Allegri and Milan met today to discuss the termination of his contract, but Napoli will have to wait a while longer for the final details to be resolved. The coach was sacked the day after a home defeat to Cagliari saw them miss out on Champions League qualification. He was dismissed in a single statement along with director of sport Igli Tare, CEO Giorgio Furlani and technical director Geoffrey Moncada.

However, before he does that, he must first terminate the existing agreement in place with Milan and that is proving to be tricky. Although the initial fear of a protracted legal battle seems to have waned, it is also fair to say that yesterday’s reports a deal would be signed today were also too optimistic. It is a laborious process and will require a little more patience to work out the kinks, but the various lawyers and representatives are hard at work and will continue discussions on Thursday.
