GdS: Sarri leads race as Milan remain keen on ‘Italianisation’ for next season

AC Milan are expected to part ways with Sergio Conceicao in the summer and as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, they intend to start the new era with a proven Italian coach. 

The pink newspaper (see photo below) has taken stock of the Rossoneri’s head coach pursuit, with there being a lot of talk about the sporting director role recently. The idea is clear: start the new era with an experienced Italian coach who has achieved success before.

In other words, we are talking about an ‘expert coach’ and not a beginner, or a bold choice for that matter. Milan believe that several coaches fit the bill, namely Antonio Conte, Max Allegri, Gian Piero Gasperini, Maurizio Sarri, and Roberto Mancini, but the list is immediately narrowed down.

Conte is difficult to get given the contract with Napoli. Allegri and Mancini, meanwhile, have the right characteristics but are behind Gasperini and Sarri on Milan’s list. To make the list even shorter, it’s enough to look at the fact that the former is under contract with Atalanta, while the latter is free.

Sarri has won the Scudetto with Juventus, as well as the Europa League with Chelsea, and he wants to relaunch his career just like Milan. The choice depends a little bit on the sporting director appointment, but as the newspaper concludes, the Rossoneri could keep the organisational chart as it is (and then they would be free to choose straight away).

At the start of the month, we reported that Sarri is one of the top targets for Milan for the head coach role.

  1. Hmmmm…another day… another farce report, Sarri is to old, to rigid to his ways and lacks the hunger, but the Italian press is hell bent on crashing Milans end of season and it’s sim of winning the Italian cup

    1. at least they know the league..
      if we talk about someone like Klopp so bring it on, but if it’s about another Fonseca/ Consesao so thanks no more

  2. Why all italian newspapers always give news like this.

    Conceicao is still the head coach, so at least give gim some respect, until this season finish.

    And then, remember who is the big boss right now, Gerry. Will he inject money to bring top players that these rumoured coaches want.

    Like these days, do we already hire an SD??? Nope, and maybe at the end, there is no SD at all.

    So, just stick on the present coach right now for the next season, and give him players he really want, that is still the better option for Milan.

    1. because Conceicao isnt Italian, in these newspapers they only respect italians as its been clear to see. Milan will win treble magically with an Italian manager clearly
