.Speaking on the Viva El Futbol podcast, the former striker was characteristically unsparing.
"
Allegri is the main coach, not the manager. He's leading our football into the abyss."
He then extended the blame beyond Allegri himself.
"Which is the disaster Allegri and his ass-kissers have created over the last ten years. He doesn't know how to coach, he talks nonsense, he continues to earn so much money and I don't understand why."
The backdrop is a defining week for Milan. Matteo Politano's late volley at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona condemned the Rossoneri to a second consecutive away defeat without scoring, leaving them nine points behind league leaders Inter and now overtaken by Napoli in the standings.
Allegri had addressed the match with resignation rather than fire.
"The Scudetto race is not for us now," the Milan coach admitted post-match. "It was a game with few scoring opportunities — whoever took advantage of it would win."
For Cassano, that kind of measured defeatism is precisely the problem.
"Milan was a disaster against Napoli and he says 'worst case scenario, we'll draw 0-0'."
He did not stop there.
"As long as I'm talking, I'll fight these people. They have to get the hell out. The time will come when these characters will be out of football — the sooner they go, the better our football will be."
With seven Serie A games remaining, Milan sit third on 63 points, five ahead of fourth-placed Como. Champions League qualification remains the realistic target — though with pressure from below increasing, even that is not yet secured.
Cassano, for one, has made clear he will not be watching quietly.
