Directly after the 0-1 loss to Caglieri at the San Siro in the last Serie A game, AC Milan cost coach Allegri and the coaching staff. A Champions League ticket was the minimum requirement, this was served to Como with one point over in the table. Now it is reported that advisor Zlatan and the Milan gang have sat down with Ruben Amorim.
Oliver Glasner and Arne Slot are both done in the Premier League, and immediately linked to the Serie A giant. These are two coaches who do not throw themselves at the first and best opportunity.

Recent reports from various Italian sources claim that Milan’s preferred option is to appoint Ralf Rangnick as technical director and to appoint Glasner, a “disciple” of the former Red Bull revolutionary, as head coach. Glasner is available after leaving Crystal Palace with FA Cup, Community Shield and Conference League titles, but Milan are looking to appoint a new technical director first. Rangnick, meanwhile, is under contract with the Austrian national team, which is trying to secure the German a new contract, which is why no appointment has yet been made.
The AC Milan management does not have the luxury of sitting and waiting until the World Cup finals are over. According to Gazzetta dello Sport , Milan continue to meet with potential head coaches while they wait for the outcome of the Rangnick-Glasner case. Gerry Cardinale is said to have spoken to USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino, and Thursday’s updates claim that former Manchester United and Sporting CP boss Amorim is the last coach the Rossoneri have spoken to.

Calciomercato reports Amorim’s candidacy is similar to Pochettino’s. They are not considered a “leading” candidate for the job. That status is reserved for Glasner, but anything can happen if the Austrian ends up saying “no” to the Rossoneri.
