Milan night not have to pay any severance pay to Allegri
Allegri was dismissed as head coach of Milan the day after the 2025-26 season came to an end.
He is widely expected to take over as head coach of Napoli, replacing Antonio Conte on a two-year contract, however, he must first come to an agreement to terminate his contract with Milan before starting work in Naples.
Despite discussions over the last few weeks, Allegri and Milan have not yet come to a mutual agreement.
Allegri would have been due to earn €5m on the second year of his Milan contract, expiring next summer, and he is reportedly set to earn €4.5m per year on his new deal with Napoli. According to reports on Sunday, Milan have offered to pay €500,000 in severance, i.e. the difference between the coach’s Milan and Napoli salaries.
Calciomercato.com claims that Allegri’s initial request was for €2m and a further €3m for his staff.

However, with the start of pre-season quickly approaching and with no agreement in place between the coach and club, the latest reports claim that Allegri is considering walking away from Milan without severance pay, so that he can get to work with Napoli within the coming weeks, if not days.
