As you would expect with Italian media, many names have been mentioned since the defeat against Cagliari. However, with Milan now seriously exploring the idea of hiring Ralf Rangnick as a director, it has become a tad easier to identify potential managers.
One name that could gather a lot of steam in the next week or so is Oliver Glasner, who has left Crystal Palace and is looking around for a new adventure. Having worked with Rangnick in the past, the two could be a good match to lead the new Milan.
Today’s papers are still contradicting each other, though, with Gazzetta pushing Glasner and Tuttosport pushing Mauricio Pochettino.
