According to reports, Massimiliano Allegri would be the first choice for the new coach of the Italian national team if Giovanni Malagò becomes president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), while his relationship with Milan is strained.
A new president is being sought for the Federation, who will then be tasked with choosing Italy's new coach to replace Gennaro Gattuso in the summer.
The first steps were taken today, after a Lega Serie A meeting saw 18 out of 20 clubs vote for Malaga as a candidate for the June 22 elections.
According to Calciomercato, if Malagò takes over, his first choice for the Italy bench would be Allegri.
This possibility has become more real than a few weeks ago, as tensions are rising behind the scenes at Milan.
The team is falling in the standings after two consecutive losses in Serie A and qualification for the Champions League is no longer certain.
Allegri took charge of Milan only last summer for the second time at San Siro, and according to Sportitalia, the club's leaders would not be against another change on the bench for next season.
On the other hand, the coach is not entirely happy with the club's transfer strategy, so an offer to manage Italy could be very tempting for all parties./Express newspaper/
