As reported by acmilaninfo.com, Milan contacted the former Tottenham coach first in November immediately after his sacking by the Premier League club.
In addition to AC Milan, Newcastle, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also thinking of Pochettino.

However, if Milan end up signing Pochettino as their next coach, rather that Rangnick, few would be saddened for the German.
