Roberto De Zerbi On Radar Of Italian Giants | OneFootball

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has emerged as an option for AC Milan for next season, it has been claimed in Italy.

The Rossoneri are out of the Champions League and are sitting eleven points behind Serie A leaders Inter in the league table.

Stefano Pioli has credit in the bank with AC Milan for ending their long wait for a league title and he is unlikely to get sacked soon.

However, there are conversations behind the scenes that AC Milan are likely to have a new head coach at the start of next season.

According to Italian daily La Repubblica (via Tutto Mercato), Brighton boss De Zerbi has several admirers in the Rossoneri hierarchy.

The Italian has earned plaudits for the way Brighton have played under him since he arrived at the club.

He is rated as one of the top young coaches in world football at the moment and AC Milan have their eyes on him.

However, it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay the release clause in De Zerbi’s contract with Brighton.
