To succeed Stefano Pioli this summer, AC Milan will not hire Christophe Galtier. Zlatan Ibrahimovic would have opted for a former Rossoneri teammate.

A great opportunity is flying for Christophe Galtier. The former PSG coach was part of the short list of AC Milan leaders for the succession of Stefano Pioli. The French technician (also announced at OM) played in Italy when he was a player, has already managed Mike Maignan and Rafael Leao and has good relations with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Sports advisor to the owner (the American fund Redbird), the Swede is clearly responsible for choosing the next coach.

As indicated by the Dutch media Telegraph, “Ibra” would have opted for Mark van Bommel, his former teammate in Lombardy, with whom he won the scudetto in 2012. Negotiations are underway with the former Barça and Bayern midfielder (as well as the Netherlands). Down). Posted at Antwerp, with whom he won the Belgian championship and the national cup last year, he would be leaving after a failed season.

Lopetegui is NOPEtegui!

Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui is also on the agenda of the 2022 Italian champion but Milan fans are furious. They actually launched a petition on Change.orgentitled “NOPEtegui”, to challenge this track, “given his coaching background”. The former Spain coach is known for having ruined Furia Roja at the 2018 World Cup by joining Real Madrid (where he was fired four months later).

AC Milan will carry out a gentle overhaul of its squad. Only veterans Simon Kjær and Olivier Giroud will leave the club at the end of their contract on June 30. The team led by Mike Maignan, Pierre Kalulu, Théo Hernandez, Ismaël Bennacer and Yacine Adli (to cite the natives of France) will focus on the recruitment of a new center forward, who could be Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
