AC Milan cannot waste any time in their planning for the future, and that is why attention has already turned to the choice of head coach.
As Corriere della Sera point out, there was a strong air of discontent within the walls of San Siro last night as some fans – in the Curva Sud above all – staged a walk-out after 15 minutes of the win over Monza. That came after thousands gathered at Casa Milan to protest against the leadership.
With the win against Monza, the Rossoneri are now in seventh place, a position with which they would avoid playing the Coppa Italia in August, but they will have to wait for the result of Fiorentina who will face Udinese away tonight.
New coach
Now the time has come to think about the future immediately because Milan can no longer waste time. The new sporting director will finally be announced next week, namely Igli Tare who has signed for three seasons and will earn €800k net per season.
The former Lazio man will immediately have to make a fundamentally important decision: who will be the new coach in place of Sergio Conceiçao? The first choice is Vincenzo Italiano, who however seems intent on renewing with Bologna.
Another name that should be removed from the list is that of Roberto De Zerbi, who will remain at Marseille. Those are not just rumours either: the Ligue 1 club released an official statement confirming it.
The management have already understood that another gamble is not an option, so Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri are high on the list. The former has just won the Scudetto and in the next few days he will meet De Laurentiis to talk about the future. However, Juventus are also on his trail.
Allegri instead remains free and has already given his availability to return to Milanello, but keep an eye on Napoli who are thinking of him in case of Conte’s farewell. Among the coaches without a team there is also Thiago Motta.
