Key Takeaways:
- Milan have held discussions with Ruben Amorim, formerly manager at Manchester United and Sporting CP, as part of their search for Massimiliano Allegri’s replacement
- The club continues to wait before making an appointment, with the combination of Ralf Rangnick as technical director and Oliver Glasner as head coach emerging as the leading prospect
- Glasner is available after leaving Crystal Palace, but Milan intend to finalise a technical director before naming a new head coach
Ongoing Managerial Search Following Recent Departures
After the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, Milan find themselves without several key figures, including Massimiliano Allegri, Igli Tare, Geoffrey Moncada, and Giorgio Furlani, all of whom departed the day after the campaign ended. The Rossoneri are actively seeking both a new head coach and senior management personnel.

Rangnick and Glasner Remain Favourites
Current reports from multiple Sportingpedia sources indicate that Milan’s preferred structure would see Ralf Rangnick named as technical director, with Oliver Glasner – described as a follower of Rangnick’s Red Bull philosophy – set to take over as head coach. While Glasner recently left Crystal Palace and is therefore available, the club are delaying any announcement until they have secured their technical director. Rangnick, meanwhile, remains under contract with Austria’s national side, whose federation is currently working to renew his agreement, which is holding up progress on Milan’s front.
Continued Interviews with Potential Candidates
With the coaching situation yet to be resolved, Milan maintain ongoing discussions with several managerial candidates.The club has recently spoken to Ruben Amorim, who has previously managed both Manchester United and Sporting CP. Earlier, it was also reported that Gerry Cardinale engaged in talks with USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Current Standings in the Appointment Race
While Amorim and Pochettino remain on the list of options under consideration, neither is regarded as the front-runner for the Milan post. That distinction is attributed to Oliver Glasner. However, the situation may shift should Glasner ultimately decide against accepting the role.
