Thousands of Paris Saint-Germain supporters took to the streets of the French capital on Saturday to celebrate their club's victory in the Champions League final, but nearly 300 arrests were made after some clashes with police.

All of those hurt were from the same family, police said. The driver handed himself in to the police and was placed under arrest. A source close to the investigation said it was believed the driver had not acted intentionally.

Messi hits brace and assists twice in Miami’s big win over Columbus in MLS

Lionel Messi scored twice and created two more as Inter Miami warmed up for the Club World Cup in style with a 5-1 win over the Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer on Saturday. Miami will open the new FIFA tournament on June 14 against Egyptian and African champions Al Ahly, and after a major dip in form, they have found their touch again in their last two MLS games. Also read | Emotional Luis Enrique pays heartfelt tribute to late daughter Xana after PSG lift maiden Champions League title A 4-2 win over Montreal in midweek, with Messi and Luis Suarez scoring two goals each, eased the tensions around Javier Mascherano's team, and their renewed confidence was evident from the outset. Miami were helped by some uncharacteristically loose defending from Columbus, who have been one of the most consistent performers in MLS over the past three seasons but were easily opened up by Messi and Company. Argentine Tadeo Allende opened the scoring in the 13th minute when Messi, who had dropped deep into midfield, sent him goalwards with a long ball over the top, and the forward confidently slotted home. Two minutes later, Columbus's Guatemalan goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen, standing in for the injured Patrick Schulte, then gifted Miami's second when he hesitated with the ball at his feet and passed straight to Messi, of all people, with the World Cup winner then attempting to chip him. Hagen scrambled, getting an outstretched palm on the ball, but the shot looped into the net to make it 2-0 and leave the visitors in deep trouble. Messi made it three in the 24th minute when Sergio Busquets spotted the Crew defence were asleep and floated a pass over the top, which Messi raced on to before lobbing the advancing Hagen. Columbus gave themselves a glimmer of hope with a thundering header from Cesar Ruvalcaba in the 58th minute, but six minutes later, Miami had restored their three-goal advantage. Messi broke through the middle and then fed Telasco Segovia, who slipped the ball outside to Suarez, who buried the ball into the bottom corner. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner was the creator again when he fed substitute Fafa Picault, who broke away before a clinical finish to complete the rout. Messi now heads off for international duty with Argentina, who have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and are away to Chile on Thursday and host Colombia on June 10.

It is almost 10 years ago when one of the most iconic post-match pictures in the Champions League final made headlines as then-Barcelona manager Luis Enrique posed with his daughter Xana. The picture taken in the German capital Berlin after Barcelona’s 3-1 win over Juventus made headlines as the Enqriue family was seen over the moon. However, 10 years on from that picture, the Enrique family, in another German city had one more heartwarming moment after Paris Saint-Germain lifted their maiden Champions League title in Munich as they thrashed Inter Milan 5-0.<h2>Enrique pays heartfelt tribute to late daughter</h2>In what has been an emotional last few years, that joy in 2015 was deeply overshadowed by the passing away of Enrique’s daughter Xana. Suffering from osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, Xana passed away in 2019 at the mere age of nine leaving memories of her famous pitch invasion in 2015. She along with her father Luis posed with the Champions League trophy and planted a Barca flag on the turf in Berlin.&nbsp;10 years on from that moment, Enrique took a moment and put on a T-shirt right after PSG’s 5-0 win over Inter which showed Xana's triumphant moment in 2015. A few minutes later the PSG ultras unfurled a gigantic tifo showing the same photo as the internet captured one of the heartwarming gestures witnessed after a Champions League final.&nbsp;<h2>PSG make light work of Inter</h2>It took only 12 minutes for PSG to open the scoring in the final as former Inter defender Achraf Hakimi converted from a Doue square ball. The lead was quickly doubled seven minutes later as Doue turned goal scorer to help PSG assert their dominance over the contest. Luis Enrique's side would then hold on to the lead until half time.&nbsp;&nbsp;The second half did not bring joy to the faces of Inter Milan fans as PSG continued to dominate the final third. Doue scored the third goal of the match in the 63rd minute having already become the youngest scorer in a Champions League final since 2004. While one hand was already on the Champions League trophy, winter signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and second half substitute Senny Mayulu made it 5-0 to PSG.

Gian Piero Gasperini, 67, departs after turning the Bergamo club from provincial also-rans in the shadow of the Milan giants down the road to one of Italys best teams and even Europa League winners last year.

Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed on Saturday he will leave Atalanta after nine hugely successful years ahead of an expected move to rivals Roma. Gasperini, 67, departs after turning the Bergamo club from provincial also-rans in the shadow of the Milan giants down the road to one of Italy's best teams and even Europa League winners last year. "In the last few hours I have decided to put an end to a wonderful nine-year-long story... I'm ending my experience in Bergamo as head coach of Atalanta," Gasperini said in an open letter written to newspaper L'Eco di Bergamo. "I decided to end my relationship with the club, and no responsibility should be put upon the club or its directors. I've simply come to understand that the time has come to take this step." Atalanta finished third in Serie A this past season and secured Champions League football with two matches left to play after falling short with an ambitious bid for the club's first league title. Gasperini is set to join Roma on a three-year contract with a net salary of five million euros a season as the capital club try to re-establish themselves in the Serie A top four. Roma last qualified for the Champions League in 2017 and missed out in a spot in Europe's top club competition on the final day of the campaign last weekend, after a surge up the table under local hero Claudio Ranieri. Ranieri came out of retirement in November to save Roma from sliding into the relegation positions and guided them to fifth and a place in the Europa League. Roma, one of Italy's biggest clubs with a large and passionate support, have only won Serie A three times, the last coming way back in 2001. They have been overtaken by fierce rivals Napoli whose recent Scudetto triumph took their tally to four, and two in the past three seasons. Gasperini is a spiky character prone to angry outbursts at journalists and he will have to deal with both an expectant, highly-strung fanbase and an intense media environment in the Italian capital. There are a slew of radio stations, websites and even a daily newspaper entirely dedicated to Roma, which have caused bust-ups with previous coaches and can create enormous pressure if results are not good. Gasperini has chosen Roma over Juventus who tried to convince him to move to Turin after failing to snatch club icon Antonio Conte from Napoli. Juve are now in a bind as current coach Igor Tudor was ony supposed to be a stopgap until the end of the season after replacing sacked Thiago Motta in March.

Former Olympic champion Alexander Zverev has cruised into the second week of the ongoing French Open 2025 after he got the better of Italian Flavio Cobolli. Playing on Saturday (May 31), Zverev took a major step towards his maiden Grand Slam title as he won 6-2, 7-6, 6-1 to book a fourth round berth. On the other hand, Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner got the better of Jiri Lehecka to move into the Round of 16.&nbsp;<h2>Zverev makes light work of Cobolli</h2>Having seen off Jesper De Jong in round three, Zverev had an easy start to the match against Cobolli as he dropped only two games and pocketed the opening set. The second set was much more competitive as Cobolli took the game to Zverev. However, after a tight second set, it was the tiebreaker where the 2024 French Open runner-up prevailed to take a 2-0 lead. The third set was less competitive with the 28-year-old pocketing it 6-1 and therefore winning the match in straight sets.&nbsp;&nbsp;Zverev will next take on Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands for a place in the quarterfinal of the French Open. The German is in search of his maiden Grand Slam title having been runner-up at the Australian Open (2025), French Open (2024) and the US Open (2020).<h2>Sinner eases into R4</h2>With a commanding display on offer, Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner saw off Jiri Lehecka 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 to get a step closer to his maiden French Open title. He dropped a total of three games in the entire match, showcasing his dominance. He smashed a total of 31 winners in the match making light work of his Czech opponent.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sinner next takes on 17th seed Andrey Rublev of Russia on Monday as he sets sight on his latest success after serving a suspension for doping.

India’s new Test team captain Shubman Gill has shrugged off reports of any rift with Hardik Pandya as Mumbai Indians downed Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) Playoffs on Friday (May 30). After Mumbai’s 20-run last-over win there were reports that Gill refused to shake hands with Panyda. However, those rumours have been put to the sword as Gill posted a story on his Instagram handle, showing love and respect for Mumbai Indians captain Pandya.&nbsp;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Shubman Gill&#39;s Instagram story. <a href="https://t.co/wEzRWTMb6S">pic.twitter.com/wEzRWTMb6S</a>&mdash; Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) <a href="https://twitter.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1928776441317011889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 31, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<h2>Gill rubbishes rift rumours</h2>“Nothing but love. Don’t believe everything you see on the internet” Gill wrote on his Instagram story tagging Pandya.&nbsp;&nbsp;The two were in the same Gujarat Titans squad that won the IPL in 2022 with Pandya leading the side. However, in a major move in December 2023, Pandya returned to Mumbai prompting GT to appoint Gill as captain. Interestingly, soon after his return Pandya was named as the captain of the Mumbai Indians side, thereby demoting Rohit Sharma.&nbsp;&nbsp;After the respective changes on both sides, Pandya and Gill have enjoyed their stints as IPL captains. On Friday they both crossed paths with a place in Qualifier 2 up for grabs.&nbsp;<h2>Mumbai reach Q2</h2>Having opted to bat first, Mumbai scored 228/5 in their 20 overs with their batters in top form. Jonny Bairstow was dismissed for a well-made 47 off 22 before he was dismissed by Sai Kishore. He and Rohit Sharma put together an opening stand of 84 runs as Mumbai made a fantastic start. Later Suryakumar Yadav (33 off 20) joined Rohit as they continued the batting onslaught. The pair stitched a stand of 59 runs for the second wicket before Suryakumar fell to Sai Kishore on a sweep shot with him scoring 33 off 20.&nbsp;Tilak Varma also played a crucial knock with a score of 25 off 11. However, it was Rohit who made the headlines having scored 81 off 50 which included 4 sixes and 9 fours.&nbsp;In response, GT scored 208/6 in their 20 overs as they lost by 20 runs in a last-over thriller at the New Chandigarh Stadium in Mullanpur. As a result, Mumbai will now face Punjab Kings in Q2 on Sunday (June 1) for a place in the IPL 2025 final.

&nbsp;Mumbai Indians’ star batter Suryakumar Yadav was seen receiving medical treatment on the ground on Friday (May 30) as his side beat Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).

However, those concerns were shrugged off quickly by head coach Mahela Jayawardene while he answered a question from WION’s correspondent at the New Chandigarh Stadium in Mullanpur.<h2>Is Surya fit for Q2?</h2>“I think these are a few old souls that we get a bit of bandaging, a bit of time.

Jasprit Bumrah is a gem, a hero of a kind, and he knows it.

Bumrah was the architect of his team’s 20-run win over Gujarat Titans (GT), conceding just 27 runs in four overs in a game where over 430 runs were scored.&nbsp;

Sai Sudharsan had a bumper IPL 2025, having scored 759 runs in 15 contested matches while averaging over 54 and striking at 156.17. Although he stayed at the top of the run-scoring sheet this season, his exploits failed to guide his team, Gujarat Titans (GT), deeper into the tournament. Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat by 20 runs in the Eliminator on Friday (May 30), knocking them out of the final race. Sudharsan, however, vows to take plenty out of it.&nbsp;Much like how he performed in all league matches leading to the playoffs, Sai was among runs against Mumbai, keeping GT alive in the run chase in the do-or-die clash. Chasing 229, Sai had GT on the front despite losing his partner, Shubman Gill, early inside the first over. The left-handed batter continued his ominous touch, hitting a crucial 80 off 49 balls, including a six and 10 fours. &nbsp;Although Sai has made his white-ball debut for India and was later picked in the 18-man squad for the upcoming England Tests, he still wishes to work on his T20 game before he plays this format again. He even addressed his chances of playing at next year’s T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-england-lions-vs-india-a-day-1-karun-nair-stays-unbeaten-on-186-test-hopefuls-among-runs-dhruv-jurel-sarfaraz-khan-1748671225027">England Lions vs India-A, Day 1: Karun Nair stays unbeaten on 186, Test hopefuls among runs</a> &nbsp;"I mean, playing for the country is obviously a dream for everybody, so I would love to do that," Sai said of his chances for the T20 World Cup next year.&nbsp; &nbsp;"But I'm not thinking on those lines because if you see about the season, I have a lot of things to improve as a T20 batter. There are so many facets of the game, or so many sectors, I should improve when I play T20 again. So, I'm focusing more on that.

But, yeah, appreciating the performances and, of course, learning from it is the is the thing forward,” he added. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Sai will now link up with the India-A squad in England for the second warm-up game against England Lions in Northampton, starting June 10.

GT opener Sai Sudharsan takes plenty from bumper IPL 2025 amid elimination disappointment

Sai Sudharsan had a bumper IPL 2025, having scored 759 runs in 15 contested matches while averaging over 54 and striking at 156.17. Although he stayed at the top of the run-scoring sheet this season, his exploits failed to guide his team, Gujarat Titans (GT), deeper into the tournament. Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat by 20 runs in the Eliminator on Friday (May 30), knocking them out of the final race. Sudharsan, however, vows to take plenty out of it. Much like how he performed in all league matches leading to the playoffs, Sai was among runs against Mumbai, keeping GT alive in the run chase in the do-or-die clash. Chasing 229, Sai had GT on the front despite losing his partner, Shubman Gill, early inside the first over. The left-handed batter continued his ominous touch, hitting a crucial 80 off 49 balls, including a six and 10 fours. Although Sai has made his white-ball debut for India and was later picked in the 18-man squad for the upcoming England Tests, he still wishes to work on his T20 game before he plays this format again. He even addressed his chances of playing at next year’s T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

"But I'm not thinking on those lines because if you see about the season, I have a lot of things to improve as a T20 batter. There are so many facets of the game, or so many sectors, I should improve when I play T20 again. So, I'm focusing more on that. Of course, when I get an opportunity, I will give my best for the country,” he continued. Looking in hindsight, Sai and every GT dressing room member were deeply disappointed with the result despite leading the points table for a major part of the tournament. "It's good to see that I had a good season or I was consistent enough for my team, but I think when the job is not finished, you don't get the ultimate satisfaction when you get back home. “So, definitely, there's a lot of disappointment in the [team] environment because of the way we played the first 12 or 13 games, which was fantastic to see as a group or as a team from outside.

Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma rode on luck to steer his team into Qualifier 2 following a 20-run win over Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Eliminator in Mullanpur on Friday (May 30). Rohit scored four fifties this season thus far, with all coming in wins; however, his latest – 81 off 50 balls, including four sixes and five fours, was impactful yet lucky.&nbsp;After being dropped twice in the first three overs, Rohit slammed a quickfire 81 to help Mumbai cross 200 in New Chandigarh, taking early advantage in the game. During the game, he also completed 300 sixes in the IPL, becoming only the second batter after Chris Gayle to achieve this feat. &nbsp;"I definitely would have liked to get more [fifties].

I got lucky. &nbsp;"You know, those catches were dropped. But again, like I said, even after the drops, you still have to play well to get those runs. And that is what I was focusing on, how I can keep that momentum going, keep that tempo going, which was brilliant from our entire batting unit to get that score. And then, like I said, it was a good bowling effort as well,” he continued.&nbsp;<h2>Rohit praises new partner Bairstow &nbsp;</h2>Rohit had a new opening partner in Jonny Bairstow for the Eliminator after Ryan Rickelton returned home to honour international commitments. Having played against Bairstow for over a decade, Rohit knows how dangerous he could be on a given day, and as life had it, it was Bairstow’s day to enjoy. &nbsp;The English cricketer scored 47 off 22 balls, stitching an 84-run stand with Rohit for the first wicket. &nbsp;"I've watched him over the years being on the other side," Rohit said of Bairstow. &nbsp;"But it was nice to be on the same side and have a crack at it.

Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos is confident the French side will cope with the pressure in Saturday's Champions League final against Inter Milan and put years of disappointment in the competition behind them by finally winning the trophy.&nbsp;"The club has learnt as time has gone on about how to deal with games like these, what it needs to do," the Brazilian defender told reporters in Munich on the eve of the game.&nbsp;"A lot of things have changed at PSG since I arrived. There have been great times, difficult times, but tomorrow (Saturday) we have a glorious opportunity to do something remarkable and historic for this club.&nbsp;"It will be my second final, and I don't want to let the opportunity pass us by."&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/football-premier-league-liverpool-signs-jeremie-frimpong-from-leverkusen-as-trent-alexander-arnold-departs-summer-transfer-window-1748663898292">Liverpool signs Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen as Trent Alexander-Arnold departs</a>&nbsp;PSG's second Champions League final comes five years after a narrow defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich behind closed doors in Lisbon during the pandemic.&nbsp;Marquinhos, who is the elder statesman in the current PSG side at 31, is one of only two players who featured in the 2020 final and are still at the club -- the other is fellow centre-back Presnel Kimpembe, now a peripheral figure.&nbsp;At PSG since 2013, Marquinhos has also been involved in some humiliating Champions League defeats, not least the infamous collapse against Barcelona in 2017, when they won 4-0 at home in the first leg only to lose 6-1 in the return.&nbsp;Luis Enrique was the Barcelona coach then, and is now on the PSG bench, in charge of a vibrant young side.&nbsp;"We have a coach who is exceptional and has prepared us really well. Even if we are a very young team, you can see how ready we are for these games," Marquinhos added.&nbsp;"I think there is a whole mix of things which have come together to bring us here in the best condition possible -- the club has grown, the incredible coach we have, the quality players who have come in. I think that is why we are here today."&nbsp;PSG lost in the semis last season before seeing Kylian Mbappe depart for Real Madrid, but without him, they have won a domestic league and cup double while also knocking out three Premier League teams -- Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal -- to get to the final.<h2>‘Opportunity to make history’</h2>&nbsp;"Now is the time to get the trophy and bring it home," added Marquinhos.&nbsp;Alongside him was Ousmane Dembele, who has been converted this season from a winger into a lethal striker with 33 goals in all competitions.

Champions League Final: Captain Marquinhos confident of PSG handling pressure against Inter

Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos is confident the French side will cope with the pressure in Saturday's Champions League final against Inter Milan and put years of disappointment in the competition behind them by finally winning the trophy. "The club has learnt as time has gone on about how to deal with games like these, what it needs to do," the Brazilian defender told reporters in Munich on the eve of the game. "A lot of things have changed at PSG since I arrived. There have been great times, difficult times, but tomorrow (Saturday) we have a glorious opportunity to do something remarkable and historic for this club. "It will be my second final, and I don't want to let the opportunity pass us by."

Marquinhos, who is the elder statesman in the current PSG side at 31, is one of only two players who featured in the 2020 final and are still at the club -- the other is fellow centre-back Presnel Kimpembe, now a peripheral figure. At PSG since 2013, Marquinhos has also been involved in some humiliating Champions League defeats, not least the infamous collapse against Barcelona in 2017, when they won 4-0 at home in the first leg only to lose 6-1 in the return. Luis Enrique was the Barcelona coach then, and is now on the PSG bench, in charge of a vibrant young side. "We have a coach who is exceptional and has prepared us really well. Even if we are a very young team, you can see how ready we are for these games," Marquinhos added. "I think there is a whole mix of things which have come together to bring us here in the best condition possible -- the club has grown, the incredible coach we have, the quality players who have come in. I think that is why we are here today." PSG lost in the semis last season before seeing Kylian Mbappe depart for Real Madrid, but without him, they have won a domestic league and cup double while also knocking out three Premier League teams -- Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal -- to get to the final. ‘Opportunity to make history’ "Now is the time to get the trophy and bring it home," added Marquinhos. Alongside him was Ousmane Dembele, who has been converted this season from a winger into a lethal striker with 33 goals in all competitions. That has made him a candidate to win the Ballon d'Or. "I am really proud to be here in the final. We have worked so hard," said Dembele, who was sent off when PSG lost 1-0 to Bayern in Munich in the league phase in November. At that point, there was a real danger PSG would be eliminated before the knockout stage, but the improvement since has been spectacular. "It wasn't easy at the start of the campaign, but we have changed the dynamic in the second half of the season, and it is exceptional to be here in Munich for the final. We feel lots of joy even though we are going to take the game very seriously." Coach Luis Enrique has the chance to win his second Champions League title, 10 years after getting his hands on the trophy with Barcelona. Then, as now, he came up against an Italian team in Germany, with Barca defeating Juventus in Berlin. "Now I have 10 years more experience and I will just try to transmit to the players how great an opportunity it is for us to play a Champions League final," said the Spaniard. "We have the opportunity to make history, to do something nobody else has ever done for this club before, but at the same time, we also have to manage our emotions so they don't become too much for us. "I think we are prepared, Inter too, no doubt, so I think it will be a really great final and of course the aim is to win it."

Liverpool signs Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen as Trent Alexander-Arnold departs

Liverpool have signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, the English Premier League champions announced Friday. No fee or length of contract was disclosed, but British media reports said Frimpong had arrived at Anfield on a five-year deal worth 35 million euros (£29.5 million). News of Frimpong's signing came just hours after Liverpool confirmed Trent Alexander-Arnold would be joining Real Madrid in time to play in the Club World Cup. Frimpong appears to be a ready-made replacement for England full-back Alexander-Arnold, with Liverpool activating the 24-year-old Dutch international's release clause. He was a key figure as Leverkusen won their first Bundesliga title in 2023/24 and made 53 appearances in all competitions as they finished second this season. Frimpong, however, will have competition at right-back from Northern Ireland defender Conor Bradley, who recently signed a new four-year contract with Liverpool. Also read | AC Milan turn to Massimiliano Allegri as new manager after disappointing Serie A season Frimpong rose through the youth ranks at Manchester City and went on to join Celtic in September 2019 before a move to Leverkusen in January 2021. He is now set to join a Netherlands contingent at Liverpool that includes manager Arne Slot as well as club captain Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch. Liverpool are also in talks with Leverkusen over signing Frimpong's former team-mate Florian Wirtz. Reports earlier Friday said Liverpool had made an improved £109 million ($146 million) bid to sign the Germany midfielder . Liverpool's second offer for Wirtz includes add-on clauses that would make him the most expensive signing in the club's history. Wirtz has also attracted interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but it is believed he made it clear to Leverkusen that he wants to join Liverpool before next season. The 22-year-old emerged as one of the most highly-rated young playmakers in Europe after helping Leverkusen win the Bundesliga. Wirtz was named Bundesliga player of the season for his role in that 2023/24 triumph. He featured in 31 Bundesliga matches this season, scoring 10 goals as Leverkusen finished second behind Bayern in the title race. Wirtz has scored 57 goals in 197 games since making his Leverkusen debut aged just 17 after signing from Cologne in 2020.

French Open 2025: Swiatek, Sabalenka through as Musetti battles into last 16

The Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) had a memorable moment on Friday (May 30) as Mumbai Indians met Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator clash at the New Chandigarh Stadium in Mullanpur. While Mumbai made a brilliant start to their innings, it was the catches that made the headlines. Rohit Sharma was dropped twice during his innings but it was Jonny Bairstow’s wicket that had the netizens on their heel.

Massimiliano Allegri returned to AC Milan on Friday as the ailing seven-time European champions try once again to rebuild following an awful season, on a busy day for managerial moves in Serie A. Milan have turned to serial winner Allegri in their hour of need following the expected sacking of Sergio Conceicao, who leaves the San Siro club after five miserable months in charge. Milan did not reveal details of the deal but Italian media widely report that Allegri has signed a two-year contract worth five million euros a season, with the option to extend for a further two years. Allegri has become the fourth coach in a year for Milan, who finished this past Serie A season in eighth place and missed out on European football for next term. The 57-year-old led Milan to the 2011 Scudetto in his first stint in charge, between 2010 and 2014, and he was their coach for one of the most infamous episodes in recent Serie A history. Milan were beating Juventus, rivals for the 2012 league title, 1-0 in February that year when a Sulley Muntari goal was not given despite the ball clearly crossing the line. Juve went on to draw that game 1-1 and then win their first title in nine years -- finishing the campaign unbeaten -- and two years later hired Allegri who then won Serie A five more times in his two spells with the Turin giants. Conceicao out Allegri had been on hiatus since being sacked by Juve in May last year, his final act there being a post-match rampage after winning the Italian Cup in which he railed at officials and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli. Conceicao, a former Inter Milan and Lazio player, was hired in late December in place of his countryman Paulo Fonseca on a contract until next year. The 50-year-old began in positive fashion at Milan by winning the Italian Super Cup in January, but he failed to claim a Champions League spot for a talented but inconsistent team that also lost the Italian Cup final to Bologna earlier this month. Conceciao, 50, won 16 of 31 games in charge at Milan, including 11 victories, seven losses and three draws in the league and also had to deal with vociferous protests from supporters against the club's American owners RedBird. Fans demonstrated in large numbers outside Milan's headquarters ahead of their team's final match of the season, a dead-rubber against relegated Monza last weekend. That protest was a culmination of months of visible anger from supporters who have watched Milan slide down the league after Stefano Pioli took them to second place in 2023/24. For months matches have been punctuated by loud calls for owner Gerry Cardinale, the founder of investment fund RedBird, to sell the club as fans watched Inter battle for the Serie A title and arrive at this weekend's Champions League final. Musical chairs Allegri's arrival came as a host of clubs in Serie A look to new faces in the dugout, with the sudden departures of Marco Baroni and Raffaele Palladino from Lazio and Fiorentina on Friday hurrying things along. Also looking for a new coach are Roma after Claudio Ranieri retired for the second time in the space of a year, with Gian Piero Gasperini reported to be the capital club's prime target. Meanwhile even Simone Inzaghi had to play down reports of a mega-money move to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, rumours which arrived out of the blue ahead of Inter Milan's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. On Monday Inzaghi said that he was "really happy" at Inter even with talk of a two-year deal with Saudi Pro league club Al-Hilal worth 50 million euros ($57 million). Champions Napoli managed to keep hold of Antonio Conte, meaning Juventus have to start a new search with Igor Tudor unlikely to be kept on and Gasperini also a target for the Turin giants.
