Milan seems oriented towards listening to the market and the environment regarding the future coach. Lopetegui could jump as a hypothesis.
Since the first rumors were published, nothing else has been talked about in Milan. That is, the choice of Milan to aim for Julen Lopetegui as the new Rossoneri coach. The after Pioli should be represented by this experienced coach, Spanish both in nationality and in the way he deploys his teams.
A choice which, however, has not convinced the general Milan public at all for the moment. The name of Lopetegui does not warm up the Rossoneri square, which was expecting a profile of much greater depth, or at least coming from more positive and continuous footballing experiences. Not surprisingly a survey published by our editorial team on social media, revealed that the majority of fans would prefer to stay with Pioli on the bench, rather than focus on the Basque.
The popular revolt of the Rossoneri fans, understood in a social sense, has borne fruit. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Milan management would sensationally be rethinking the right profile for the bench. This is why we talk about braking on Lopetegui, a name that remains welcome to the club but put on standby to avoid a state case.
Contacts with 6 other coaches in addition to Lopetegui
In this sense it should be noted that the Milan would officially reopen the casting to find the new coach. The characteristics that the club is looking for are clear: a modern coach, with an offensive, corporate mentality and who does not cost too much either in salary or in terms of market demands.
A double list was drawn up by Zlatan Ibrahimovic and company. Three names as priority alternatives to Lopetegui, and three secondary profiles that still ended up on the short list. Prices are rising Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton’s revelation manager who also has a past as a Rossoneri footballer. A comeback held back only by the 15 million euro clause that needs to be paid out to make him leave the Premier League.
Also on the same level are the names of Paulo Fonseca And Mark van Bommelyoung and international coaches, who already know Italian football from their past experiences.
A step further back, but still investigated in the last few hours, even the various ones Marcelo Gallardo, Domenico Tedesco and Cristophe Galtier. Milan has a very intriguing list of names to draw from, while Lopetegui’s profile risks ending up increasingly in the background for reasons of support.
