AC Milan have sacked coach Massimiliano Allegri. The announcement comes after the Rossoneri closed the weekend with a 4-3 loss to newly-promoted Sassuolo Milan have only won five of their 19 matches this season, leading ownership to decide that Allegri’s time at the San Siro, was up.
And here are the highlights, or lowlights, from his final game in charge.
AC Milan looked to be cruising when Robinho and Mario Balotelli put them two goals ahead after 13 minutes.
19-year-old forward Domenico Berardi began Sassuolo’s fightback in the 15th minute, when he rounded Christian Abbiati to score from a narrow angle. He levelled with a clever half-volley in the 28th minute, and completed his hat-trick just before the break, when he got between two defenders to fire past Abbiati.
Straight after the re-start, Berardi struck again with a deflected shot to become the first player to score four goals against Milan in Serie A’s 85-year history. Milan dominated the final half hour as Japan midfielder Keisuke Honda hit the crossbar on his debut, and Riccardo Montolivo pulled one goal back, but they could not force an equaliser.
