Milan ultras focus anger on Furlani, but Allegri and Tare could pay instead
Milan ultras are planning a big protest ahead of tomorrow’s match against Atalanta, with reports Giorgio Furlani could push out both Max Allegri and Igli Tare.
It kicks off at San Siro on Sunday at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

That has prompted frustration among the ultras, who are ready to make their voices heard tomorrow with a protest in the stands.
It comes after thousands of signatures were put on a petition urging the club to sack CEO Furlani, but his tendency to crank out profits from player sales is instead likely to see him backed by owner Gerry Cardinale.
Milan ultras are protesting against Giorgio Furlani due to dissatisfaction with the team's recent performance and management decisions.
The protest could lead to pressure for the club to make changes, potentially resulting in the dismissal of Max Allegri and Igli Tare.
The Milan vs Atalanta match is scheduled for Sunday at 19:45 UK time (20:45 CEST).

“The resentment has deep roots,” explains journalist Luca Serafini on MilanNews.
“The accusations towards Furlani go from his extreme interference on the transfer market, decisions that clashed with Tare’s strategy, a lack of strong communication, focus on financial sustainability effectively wiping out sporting ambition, through to dismantling the organised fanbase.”
The ultras are protesting an increase in ticket prices and complicated red tape over new security protocols.
If the Milan fans are hoping Cardinale will turn on Furlani, then the media report the CEO will instead consolidate his grip on the club’s decision-making process.
Just one year after their arrival, both coach Allegri and director of sport Tare could be on the way out, according to MilanNews.
The Rossoneri are looking to Atalanta director Tony D’Amico and Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano.
