"Massimiliano Allegri revealed that the Coppa Italia is among his top targets for the 2025-26 season ahead of their second-round clash against Lecce. Allegri's return to Milan has started strongly, with his team sitting third in the early Serie A standings after taking nine points from their opening four league games. One of those victories came against Tuesday's opponents Lecce, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic on target in a 2-0 win over Eusebio Luca Di Francesco's side."
"The Rossoneri have not won the Coppa Italia since 2003, though Allegri was keen to end their over two-decade-long wait for the title this time around. "For us, the Coppa Italia is the target of the season," Allegri said. "We'll start talking about the league again on Wednesday. Tomorrow we have a game to win. It's important for us because we have to go forward and reach the round of 16."
Massimiliano Allegri has targeted the Coppa Italia as a primary objective for the 2025-26 season ahead of the second-round tie with Lecce. Milan sit third in early Serie A standings with nine points from four games. Milan beat Lecce 2-0 earlier, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic scoring. Milan lost the 2024-25 Coppa Italia final 1-0 to Bologna and have not won the competition since 2003, finishing runners-up ten times. Allegri stressed the need to reach the round of 16 and avoid a penalty shootout. Christopher Nkunku looks set to make his first start after joining for about €42m.
