7 Most likely names to replace Gattuso as Milan coach

The recent string of negative results could mark Gennaro Gattuso’s end as AC Milan coach. Seven names are reportedly being considered to replace Gattuso.

LUCIEN FAVRE

The Swiss 61 year old perfectionist is currently leading the German Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund. The Black and Yellows could finally break the domestic domination of Bayern Munich this season and that’s a big merit of Favre.

Borussia Dortmund play excellent football and have been a joy to watch so far. Favre’s side also boosts some of the best young talents in Europe, a feat that AC Milan are eager to replicate. 

Lucien Favre also did a fantastic job during his tenure at Borussia Monchengladbach. In 4 years, Favre revived a fallen giant of German football, taking them from certainties for relegation to the pinnacle of European football in the Champions League (twice).

He later joined Nice helping them reach a historic second place in 2016/17. Favre is well-known for his dynamic style of management, quick and attacking-minded football. He is also notorious for his ability to develop talented youngster like Dzemaili, Reus, Xhaka and ter Stegen.
