Pulisic confident Milan will rise again in Serie A
AC Milan has already undergone major changes at the top after last season's disappointing results in Serie A, but star American forward Christian Pulisic is not worried.
Milan had been in pole position for a top-four finish in Serie A, but a run of just two wins in its final eight matches, including a damaging 2-1 loss to Cagliari on the final day, saw it drop to fifth.
As such, the club parted ways with head coach Massimiliano Allegri, as well as chief executive Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare and technical director Geoffrey Moncada in a major overhaul by its ownership group, Redbird Capital Partners.
Milan us yet to announce Allegri's successor, with frmer Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner often mentioned as a possible option, but even with a lot of questions over Milan going forward, Pulisic is not worried about the future.
"I can only say that Milan is a big club, and I think they'll sort everything out," Pulisic told Gazzetta dello Sport from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he is part of co-host United States' squad.
"Ultimately, I'm sure everything will be fine, and the team will get back to where it belongs. Right now, though, my focus is here in America."
Another name heavily linked with the vacant Milan job is United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Some reports suggest a deal in principle has already been agreed between the two parties for after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
"I only see him as my national team coach, here and now. Our relationship is good, definitely good," Pulisic insisted.
"We've had some good conversations over the past few days: I know what he asks of me and what I can give him. I think with him, we're preparing as best as possible for the tournament."
Asked about the differences between Pochettino and Allegri, Pulisic added: "I don't make comparisons, but I believe he's the first South American coach I've had in my career.
"It's been a great experience, a big discovery. I like his passion; I like the footballing ideas he brings with his style. He demands great energy and continuous intensity on the pitch."
