The rumours regarding AC Milan’s next manager have not been silenced, and with the emergence of a brand new name, it does not look like the situation will quieten anytime soon.
Although Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently stated that Milan are ‘happy’ with Stefano Pioli’s management of the club, there remain questions about when the Italian’s tenure will end and then, following that, who will be trusted with the reigns.
Recent reports have suggested that Antonio Conte has been ‘offered’ the job, whereas others state that the Rossoneri see Thiago Motta as the favoured candidate. However, today has brought a new name into the mix.
Matteo Moretto has reported on Relevo that former Sevilla, Real Madrid and Spain manager Julen Lopetegui is a name being considered by Milan. The Spaniard was last in charge of Wolverhampton Wanderers but left due to the finances of the Midlands club.
The report suggests that Lopetegui’s name is the one most favoured currently at the Diavolo, given his ability to implement winning mentalities and develop young players – which are two of the most desired traits for the new manager to have in RedBird’s eyes.
