Massimiliano Allegri’s tenure as coach of Serie A giants AC Milan came under fresh scrutiny when the Rossoneri suffered their third defeat of the season in a 2-1 reverse away to Udinese.
Milan opened their campaign with defeat at home to Sampdoria and have failed to win or score any goals at the San Siro in three attempts including the scoreless draw against Champions League opponents Anderlecht.
Reports have since suggested only a win on Sunday would save Allegri’s job, but that was of no concern to Udinese, who started the day fourth from bottom.
The hosts opened the scoring in the 40th minute when giant Swedish striker Mathias Ranegie rose to send a header under the crossbar of beaten keeper Christian Abbiati.
Italy under-21 international Stephan El Sharaway levelled for the visitors 10 minutes after the restart with a right-footed shot from outside the box that lodged in the left hand corner of the net.
