The past 24 hours have been mad for Milan. It seemed like they could have proper movement in the sporting director and manager hire process and whilst they did, it was not in a positive way. Indeed, it was the confirmation of Rangnick’s withdrawal.
Reports state that ‘Ibrahimovic won the battle’ and he opted against a move, with guarantees not given to him before his deadline. An own goal, perhaps, and the Rossoneri are back to square one in the hiring stage.
Milan considering Krosche move
It is worth stating that Rangnick was not the only candidate, though and Ramon Planes remains a name of interest. However, he is not the only option; Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Devin Ozek is another target.
Fabrizio Romano has added another option, too. On his X account, he stated that the Diavolo are looking at hiring Markus Krösche, who is the current Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director.
Overseeing a project, which had the second youngest squad in the Bundesliga this season, he is of a very similar mould to Rangnick. So, whilst they may not have gotten their primary target, they may not stray too far.
Considering he previously worked with Oliver Glasner with Frankfurt, too, it is a name of real interest.
