The scenario changes for the Milan bench. The Rossoneri club would be making different assessments in the last few hours, with great surprise.
We don’t talk about anything else in the house anymore Milan that of the next coach who will sit on the Rossoneri bench. Now the adventure of Stefano Pioli is at the end of the line and we are only waiting for the end of the championship to decree the coach’s farewell, despite the contract expiring in June 2025.
The coaching question causes a lot of discussion, especially due to the recent rumors that seem to put him in pole position Julen Lopetegui. The 58-year-old Basque, currently without a contract, would be the first choice of the AC Milan management. His offensive game, his ability to develop young talents and his attitude as an international leader would have convinced everyone.
But not i fans Rossoneri, who started a campaign on social media called ‘NOPetegui‘, paraphrasing the name of the Spanish coach. Milan fans would prefer a more well-known, prestigious and already well-known profile in Italy (Antonio Conte above all), for this reason they would be lining up en masse against the hiring of the former Porto, Real and Sevilla player.
Cardinal changes his mind: will Lopetegui skip?
Incredible but true what is happening in these hours Casa Milan, at least according to Matteo Moretto’s reconstruction. The Italian journalist himself had first revealed the candidacy of Lopetegui and the fact that he had the absolute preference of the entire management. Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic he was convinced to vote for the Spaniard’s hiring.
Yet the patron Gerry Cardinale he was struck, sensitive by the protests of the fans, after the negative certificates against Lopetegui. For this reason, the American tycoon would be ready to take a step back, despite having himself been convinced about the choice of this coach.
So everything changes for the Milan bench. Lopetegui risks losing share, with the Spaniard having put other offers on stand-by (in particular from West Ham) to bet everything on Milan, while now he finds himself in an unexpected state of impasse. According to what Moretto writes, the ownership’s change of direction would not have been shared by the entire Rossoneri board.
The journalist of Relevo he then states that other evaluations for the bench are therefore underway, but at the moment there does not appear to be a concrete, live negotiation. While waiting for further developments, confirmations arrive on the strong influence of the fans regarding the about-face of Lopetegui.
