Ralf Rangnick has met with AC Milan representatives and presented conditions for a potential role. Direct contact occurred with owner Gerry Cardinale and key figures Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Massimo Calvelli. Milan offered a proposal, while Rangnick requested carte blanche over all sporting matters. He wants authority to decide on the sporting director and the head coach without interference, aiming to restructure the club according to his vision. Further meetings are planned soon because both sides need to move quickly. Rangnick remains committed to Austria through at least June 28, with possible extension if qualification advances, while Ibrahimovic is tied up for the full period due to broadcasting duties. Immediate appointment of a sporting director and coach would be required, along with clear instructions during the World Cup period.
"Rangnick has had direct contact with owner Gerry Cardinale and his right-hand men Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Massimo Calvelli. Milan have put forward their proposal, and Rangnick has set his conditions: he wants carte blanche."
"The demands Rangnick has set are significant, however: he wants full powers over everything related to the sporting side. He wants to decide on the sporting director and coach, without interference, aiming to restructure the club in his vision."
"This clearly implies that Ibrahimovic and the ownership in general must leave him to it without any kind of interference. The parties will meet again shortly and Milan need to close the deal quickly, while Rangnick will soon begin preparing for the World Cup."
"Rangnick is committed to Austria until at least June 28th, but even beyond if they advance from the group stage, while Zlatan will be committed for the entire duration given his role as commentator for Fox Sports. Therefore, a sporting director and coach would need to be chosen immediately, giving them precise instruction"
