Milan ensured that their 2024-25 season ended in winning fashion, as they beat bottom of the table Monza 2-0 at San Siro last night. In truth though it was a useless win given the big objectives had already faded, and there was more speculation about the future than focus on the present.
This also applied to the Sky studios, with Di Marzio there to give the latest news regarding Milan’s pursuit of a new head coach. Igli Tare has signed as the new sporting director and appointing Sergio Conceicao’s replacement will be one of his first jobs.
Di Marzio gave an update on who might take over from the Portuguese and he seemed to throw Conte’s name into the hat, despite the fact he has just won the league with Napoli. MilanNews relayed his comments.
“Antonio Conte hasn’t made any agreements with anyone and hasn’t even made contact with anyone, he wants to talk to De Laurentiis and Manna first: he hasn’t promised himself to other teams. After this meeting he will decide what to do,” he said.
“Milan hasn’t made any moves on Conte yet, Juve are the most focused Conte is a thought in the Rossoneri’s orbit because Italiano wants to stay at Bologna and he made it known to Milan in the last few hours.
“The pressure on Italiano was suffocating, first Furlani and then also Tare but Italiano wants to stay at Bologna and will sign a three-year contract. Then there is Allegri: there have been contacts and he would give a general availability but Napoli moved first as a precaution.
“Allegri is a coach that Napoli have secured: to date, he gives priority to the Neapolitans and the Conte situation will start the mosaic. In this case Milan could enter the scene for Antonio Conte or for Motta even if there have been no contacts yet.”
