CM: Two ‘strong candidates’ emerge in Milan’s head coach search – the names

After a 2024-25 season that has fallen below expectations, AC Milan are planning for the future and that includes another change in head coach.

Calciomercato.com write how one part of Milan, the black and blue side of Inter, are celebrating another Champions League final after an semi-final against Barcelona. The other, the red and black one of Milan, is wondering about a future that is still to be planned.

The current gap between the two clubs is clear and starts from a different management structure that brings benefits to the coach, specifically Simone Inzaghi. The choice of the next coach becomes crucial for Milan, especially after the mistakes of the past 12 months.

It all started with the Julen Lopetegui affair, who appeared destined to take over from Stefano Pioli. Then the decision was made to hire Paulo Fonseca, who lasted just a few months, before Sergio Conceicao replaced him and was never supported as he should have been.

Candidates to be Milan’s next coach

At least two strong candidates have emerged from the club’s internal discussions. First and foremost, there is the name of Massimiliano Allegri, supported by part of the Rossoneri management.

The former Juventus coach has a winning CV, knows the club very well, wants to take some revenge against Juve for the way things ended there and is free to start working pretty much immediately. These are all attractive characteristics in the eyes of the Rossoneri.

Giorgio Furlani also greatly appreciates Vincenzo Italiano, the Bologna coach. He will be opponent both in the league on Friday and in the Coppa Italia final at the Olimpico on May 14. There has been no contact (so far) with either coach, and this is the news that worries the fans.

The wait for the choice of the new sporting director means a wait for the managerial appointment too. Furlani has taken the reins, carrying out several discussions that have not led to a definitive decision yet. The feeling is that news will only come at the end of the season.
