Milan Not Close to Deciding Their Coach for Next Season | OneFootball

Sergio Conceiçao has only small chances of staying on the Milan bench, although winning the upcoming Coppa Italia final will boost them. The front office hasn’t zeroed in on any candidate to replace him at this stage, Calciomercato informs.

Massimiliano Allegri has been attached to the likely opening a few times. While he’s appreciated by the hierarchy and knows the team and the environment, there have been no contacts with him so far.

Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani likes Vincenzo Italiano a lot. Bologna want to keep him. They’d have to agree to a new deal to make sure of that since he inked a two-year one last summer.

Despite their interest, the Rossoneri haven’t reached out to the Felsinei boss or his entourage either. They’ll kick their search into high gear only after appointing a new director. They’ll make their final attempt for Atalanta’s Tony D’Amico after the last Serie A round. If it’s unsuccessful, they’ll stay as is or hire Igli Tare.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is keeping in touch with Allegri in case Antonio Conte bolts. Roma are also very interested in him, Il Messaggero informs (via Fantacalcio).

Our Take on the Milan Bench

It’s a bit worrying but also partially reassuring at the same time. If they give real power to their new exec, and he’s not just a figurehead to divert the criticism for their current officials, he should be the one making the choice, or at least heavily influencing it. Conceiçao’s chances shouldn’t be underestimated. Without the Champions League and with a suspect front office and ownership, it’s not that great of a destination for top-end coaches.
