Overview
- AC Milan carried out a wide post-season restructure that included sacking manager Massimiliano Allegri and senior sporting executives after failing to qualify for the Champions League.
- Reports say Milan have approached Andoni Iraola as a leading candidate to replace Allegri, but the club has made no formal appointment.
- Iraola has left Bournemouth and is taking time to decide his next job, saying he will remain in Bournemouth until July while evaluating offers.
- Other clubs including Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen are actively pursuing Iraola, and Barcelona legend Xavi is also reported to be on Milan’s shortlist, giving the coach substantial leverage.
- Missing Champions League football has left Milan facing a necessary rebuild that will require a clear transfer and sporting vision to attract top coaches and retain key players.
