CM: Interest in De Zerbi is high but Milan are not calling – the details | OneFootball

Roberto De Zerbi has been linked with the AC Milan job several times in recent months, but as Stefano Pioli prepares to leave the club, the former Brighton head coach is not being spoken to by the Rossoneri, a report has claimed today.

The links between De Zerbi and Milan stretch further than the technical area, a product of the academy and a dream to return to Italy, partnered with ambitions to be the best link between the pair. However, at the vital stages, it seems like it might not be the right fit.

As Milan prepare to enter a new era, they are still awaiting the moment to appoint their next head coach. Reports from this morning suggested that there is once again a two-man shortlist, comprised of Mark van Bommel and Paulo Fonseca.

In there, there is a distinct lack of De Zerbi’s name, whose profile Milan would imaginably admire. However, as Calciomercato.com reports, the Rossoneri are not calling for him, and neither are Juventus.

Instead, there is interest from Marseille, who are another party interested in Fonseca, and Porto, who are preparing for the departure of Sergio Conceicao, who has been targeted by the Diavolo in recent weeks.
