AC Milan have spoken with Ralf Rangnick as part of a broader overhaul after dismissing the CEO, sporting director, technical director, and coach. Multiple managerial and executive names have been linked, including Iraola, Jaissle, Pochettino, Glasner, and several football operations figures. Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic face major work in the coming weeks, alongside board member Massimo Calvelli. Rangnick is reported to be offered a key role, but agreement may be difficult because Rangnick wants full control over the rebuild without interference. The relationship between Rangnick and Ibrahimovic is described as not the best, referencing past tensions from 2020 when Ibrahimovic questioned Rangnick’s identity.
"Matteo Moretto has confirmed that AC Milan have spoken to Ralf Rangnick, but his relationship with Zlatan Ibrahimovic could hinder things. Ever since Monday's mass clear-out of the management, an endless list of names has been linked with the task of creating a new era at Milan. Iraola, Jaissle, Pochettino and Glasner have been mentioned as managerial targets, plus Ramon Planes, Edwards, Ayre, Carnevali and Galliani as executives."
"The only certainty is that with the CEO, sporting director, technical director and coach dismissed, Gerry Cardinale and Ibrahimovic have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks, as does board member Massimo Calvelli. Old grudges die hard In the last few hours, there's also been talk of Rangnick, the same man who was linked in the post-Covid summer seven years ago. Everything fell through, thanks largely to Stefano Pioli's performance as manager."
"Ibrahimovic and Cardinale have reportedly offered the former Red Bull man a key role, but it won't be easy to reach an agreement. He wants full control of the rebuild required, therefore with no obstacles from above. Matteo Moretto, responding to a message from a fan on X (via MilanNews), wrote: "He's been called up too, yes, but the relationship with Ibra isn't the best. But he's just one name in this mix.""
"The reference is obviously to the summer of 2020, when it seemed that Rangnick would replace Pioli. Before the latter deserved the renewal thanks to the results obtained, in an interview with Repubblica Ibrahimovic declared: "Who is Rangnick? I don't know who Rangnick is.""
