Massimiliano Allegri is set for his first official match since returning to Milan, as the Rossoneri face Bari in the Coppa Italia tomorrow evening.
The coach admitted, with quotes via MilanNews24, there is plenty of excitement around the club but reminded his players that composure and discipline will be key. “There is great enthusiasm and we thank all the fans who will come to the stadium tomorrow. We must be good at playing a responsible, organized, and highly technical match,” he said.
Allegri: Do not underestimate Bari
Allegri also underlined the danger of underestimating Bari. “We must have great respect for Bari, an organized team with a good coach. They have prepared well. Tomorrow the victory counts, we must try to move forward to reach the finals in May.”
The coach reiterated the importance of the Coppa Italia as one of Milan’s three main objectives and praised the club’s transfer work. “The new signings have integrated well: there is a good spirit,” he added.
For Allegri, tomorrow’s clash is not just about advancing in the competition but about laying the groundwork for the season ahead. A convincing performance would reaffirm his tactical principles and set the tone for a Milan side eager to compete on multiple fronts.
With the squad refreshed by summer reinforcements and the club aiming to balance ambition with consistency, Allegri knows early results can help build momentum. The Coppa Italia may be just the beginning but, for Milan, it represents a chance to showcase unity, purpose and the kind of mentality that could define their campaign.
