AC Milan new coach: 6 names that could succeed Gattuso

It’s time to analyze the candidates that AC Milan are considering for Gattuso’s job. From Simone Inzaghi to Jose Mourinho these are the names linked with Milan.

The early departure of both Gennaro Gattuso and Leonardo has caused confusion at AC Milan. The Brazilian sporting director left because he didn’t fully agree with Ivan Gazidis’ ideas on the future of Milan. Paolo Maldini could take his place and become the new technical director of the club.

According to Gazidis’ proposal, the former defender would lead a group of three people and together would be in charge of the summer transfer market. However, every signing of sale should have the final approval if Gazids. Maldini has taken time to considered an offer and by the end of the week should give his answer.

Gattuso, just like Leonardo, resigned for similar reasons. The former midfielder believed that Milan needs not only young and promising talents but also experienced players that could lead a young squad and inject necessary enthusiasm. Rino also felt abandoned in some moments during the season. A disappointing gesture from the management that he did not appreciate.

Now AC Milan are on the hunt for a new coach. Early reports suggested that Elliot wanted a foreign coach of international experience to lead their new project. Despite the fact that Milan will sign several young players this summer, important investments will not lack.

However, Ivan Gazidis confirmed for La Gazzetta dello sport that the new coach doesn’t necessarily have to come from abroad. The Milan CEO painted the identikit of the new coach as someone who has proven capable of working with a group of young players, bases his ideas on attacking football and marries 100% Elliot’s project to relaunching Milan to the top of Italian and European football. Without further due let’s analyze the candidates and their chances of landing the job starting from Simone Inzaghi.
