Mediaset: Milan to hire an Italian coach – the six names in the running | OneFootball

AC Milan have some big decisions to make ahead of the summer and one of them concerns the new head coach.

Sergio Conceicao’s future has been a hot topic in the media recently, with many sources speaking of a fate that is sealed regardless of if the Coppa Italia becomes his second trophy. As we recently reported, the Portuguese is likely to resign even if the club decide they want to keep him.

Despite a clause to renew his contract for one more season, which Milan can decide to trigger, the former Porto man already has a pretty clear idea: he wants to move on. As things stand, he has no intention of remaining as the Rossoneri’s head coach.

Thus, it is expected that Milan will have to find the right replacement. According to SportMediaset (seen below), the current management have already made one important decision: the next manager will be an Italian one.

The broadcaster have outlined six possibilities. Two of them are out of work in Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri having most recently worked at Juventus and Lazio respectively. Then, Gian Piero Gasperini (Atalanta) and Vincenzo Italiana (Bologna) already have jobs within Serie A.

The final two names are Carlo Ancelotti and Roberto De Zerbi, who continue to be tipped to leave Real Madrid and Marseille respectively at the end of the campaign.
