Overview
- AC Milan removed Massimiliano Allegri and several senior sporting executives after the season ended and have launched a full sporting rebuild to replace their leadership team.
- The club's preferred model is Ralf Rangnick as technical director paired with Oliver Glasner as head coach but Rangnick's existing contract with the Austria national team is complicating and delaying any immediate hires.
- While waiting for the Rangnick decision Milan have actively met with other coaches, with Ruben Amorim now reported as a candidate and Gerry Cardinale said to have spoken with Mauricio Pochettino.
- Oliver Glasner is widely regarded as the leading coach option and is available after leaving Crystal Palace but Milan still want a technical director in place before finalising the head‑coach appointment.
- Owners RedBird Capital pushed the changes after Milan fell from third to fifth and missed Champions League qualification and the delay in appointments risks distracting players, opening the door for rival clubs to approach shortlisted candidates.
