Di Marzio provided a new update on the Lopetegui-Milan track: there could be a surprise turning point.
Who will be the next coach of the Rossoneri team? To date the only certainty seems to be the lack of confirmation of Stefano Pioliwho has a contract that expires in June 2025 is that he will be dismissed at the end of the season. The time has come for change and the management has understood it.
Many fans would like Antonio Conte on the bench, but in recent days news has leaked out about the probable arrival of Julen Lopetegui. Some sources have also revealed the existence of a three-year agreement worth 4 million euros net per season. The Spanish coach has attracted a lot of criticism from the fans, the ultras group Curva Sud Milano has taken a clear position against his possible hiring and there are many social comments from AC Milan fans who are against it.
Lopetegui-Milan: the latest news from Di Marzio
The 57-year-old Basque has coached Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid Castilla, Spain Under-19, Spain Under-20, Spain Under-21, Porto, Spain, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Wolverhampton. At club level the only trophy won is the Europa League 2019/2020 with the Sevillevictorious over Conte’s Inter in the final.
The journalist Gianluca Di Marzio he returned to the topic Lopetegui to Sky Sports: “He is the coach with whom Milan has had the most contact and also several meetings. They talked a lot about the future of the team. He is the coach who was most liked within the Rossoneri management. However, we must say that a definitive conclusion has not been reached and it is not certain that there will be one in the future. The revolt and the supporter protest left a bit of a mark on the minds and decisions of the managers of the club, who do not want to make a mistake in this delicate choice“.
It is not yet done for the hiring of Lopetegui, therefore. But then who could land on the bench in Pioli’s place? Di Marzio takes stock: “Milan likes it Thiago Motta, but we know that Juventus is further ahead and therefore we don’t think there is room for the Rossoneri to be included. Also Fonseca he was evaluated, but there was no direct contact with him. There were no contacts either De Zerbi And Amorim, which the fans like. The name that everyone would agree on is Antonio Conte, but so far it doesn’t seem to be part of the company’s plans. If anything changes in the next few weeks, we’ll find out“.
