Oliver Glasner is emerging as the leading candidate to replace Max Allegri at AC Milan, as he reportedly warms to the idea after discussions with owner Gerry Cardinale and advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Austrian coach, 51, is noted as Crystal Palace’s most successful manager, having won the FA Cup, Community Shield, and most recently the Europa Conference League, which has boosted his stock and made him a top target for Milan.
In recent developments, Glasner attended a six-hour meeting in Germany with Cardinale, with Ibrahimovic also involved, fueling speculation about a potential move to Milan. While Milan is pursuing Glasner, there is competition from Fulham, who are keen to hire him to replace Benfica-bound Marco Silva, adding complexity to Milan’s bid.
Key takeaways:
– Glasner is the leading candidate to take over AC Milan if he chooses to move.
– A high-profile meeting with Milan’s ownership and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has intensified the negotiations.
– Milan faces competition from Fulham in securing Glasner’s services.
