AC Milan Narrow Coaching Race as Glasner Emerges After Six‑Hour Meeting

Uncertainty over who will lead the club’s technical strategy could decide which coach accepts the role.

Overview

  • AC Milan confirmed the dismissal of head coach Massimiliano Allegri and several senior sporting executives and has begun a full sporting rebuild with an active search for a new head coach.
  • Owner Gerry Cardinale and adviser Zlatan Ibrahimovic held a reported six‑hour meeting with Oliver Glasner that has pushed him to the front of Milan’s shortlist.
  • Glasner faces competition for his services from Premier League interest, with Fulham identified as a possible alternative employer if Milan do not move quickly.
  • Mauricio Pochettino has risen as a strong alternative candidate, but his availability is constrained by World Cup commitments, which would delay any start date.
  • Ralf Rangnick’s possible appointment as a technical director remains unresolved and he has reportedly set conditions for the role that could shape Milan’s structure and influence which coach will join; the club is expected to decide in the near term.
