Could Massimiliano Allegri be the man to rescue AC Milan?
Marco Giampaolo is under increasing pressure at San Siro after Milan slumped to a fourth defeat in their first six games of the Serie A season.
Allegri led Milan to their last league title in 2010-11 and, now unemployed, he shapes as being a target for the club once more.
TOP STORY – MILAN EYE ALLEGRI
Allegri is one of the favourites and the choice of many of AC Milan's leaders to be their next head coach, according to Calciomercato.
The 52-year-old spent three and a half years at Milan before taking over at Juventus, where he won five Serie A titles.
Allegri could be set for a return to Milan, who are struggling in 16th in the table, just one point clear of the relegation zone.
