Oliver Glasner is reportedly the top choice for the AC Milan coaching role, with indications that he is actively preparing a presentation for a significant meeting scheduled for Tuesday. While Arne Slot is also being considered, Glasner appears to be Milan’s preferred candidate.
Following a sweeping dismissal of several key personnel, including Max Allegri, Igli Tare, Giorgio Furlani, and Geoffrey Moncada, AC Milan is undergoing a comprehensive restructuring. A crucial part of this rebuild involves appointing a new head coach.
The search for a new manager seems to have narrowed down to two primary candidates: Glasner and Arne Slot. Slot became available after his recent sacking by Liverpool, despite having won the Premier League with them the previous year. However, Glasner has emerged as a more prominent target due to his successful tenure and recent Conference League triumph with Crystal Palace.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, a meeting is set to take place in Austria on Tuesday. This meeting will involve Glasner and potentially new technical director Ralf Rangnick.
Glasner is reportedly conducting thorough preparation, including assembling a presentation that will analyze the current Milan squad’s strengths and weaknesses. He aims to be fully equipped to address any challenging questions and has compiled a list of players he believes should either remain with the club or depart. This list also includes players returning from loan spells at other clubs.
Meanwhile, Corriere della Sera reports that there is still some uncertainty regarding Ralf Rangnick’s role as technical director. RedBird Special Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimović is said to be concerned about concentrating too much authority in a single individual.
