Milan have agreement with Glasner, Amorim is Ibrahimovic’s candidate – report

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Oliver Glasner has reached an agreement with Milan, but the Rossoneri’s search for a new coach continues and includes ex-Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, who is backed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Milan are still looking for a replacement for Massimiliano Allegri, and even if ex-Crystal Palace boss Glasner remains their primary option, talks have also been held with other candidates.

According to Gazzetta, Glasner has agreed to sign a two-year contract with a salary between €3m and €4m and an option for a further campaign.

Glasner has rejected an offer from Feyenoord and has prioritised Milan, but the Rossoneri have yet to make a final decision.

Milan already met with Matthias Jaissle, coach of Al Ahli, who has a €6m release clause, and Ruben Amorim, who, according to Gazzetta, is backed by RedBird Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino has also met with Milan in the past weeks.

The Pink Paper reports that Milan owner Gerry Cardinale wants to be much more involved in the decision-making process than in the past, so he’ll personally pick the new coach after more rounds of talks in the coming days.

Cardinale’s priority, however, is to appoint a new technical director before hiring a new coach, and Ralf Rangnick remains Milan’s top choice.

Rangnick is the Austria national team coach and has reportedly put contract extension talks with the Austrian federation on hold.

The German, a former Manchester United boss, has already identified Jaissle and Glasner as ideal coaches for Milan, but it will be Cardinale who has the last word.
