AC Milan are seeking approval from Andoni Iraola while he assesses his future. Reports indicate Iraola is a top option on a list prepared by Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gerry Cardinale. Milan met Iraola in London and presented a project, describing him as a “Fabregas-style” coach. Ongoing contacts continue, but Milan need to identify Allegri’s replacement and other management figures before planning for 2026-27. Iraola previously said he wanted to continue in the Premier League after announcing his final season at Bournemouth. Crystal Palace have shown interest, and family reasons favor staying in London. Reports also state Iraola has not agreed yet, with Bayer Leverkusen and a potential Liverpool interest also mentioned.
"AC Milan are pushing to get the green light from Andoni Iraola, but the coach is taking time to assess his future. Multiple reports have claimed that Iraola - who led Bournemouth to their first ever European qualification this season - is the first name on the list of possible managers drawn up by Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gerry Cardinale."
"They met with the Basque-born coach in London a few days ago and explained the project to him, identifying him as the 'Fabregas-style' coach the Milan owner says he wants at his club. MilanNews reports that contacts between the parties have been ongoing since the initial meeting."
"Ever since he announced that it would be his last season as Bournemouth coach, he made it clear he wanted to continue his experience in the Premier League. Crystal Palace have come forward, expressing interest some time ago. There's also a family reason, given they would prefer to stay in London, where they're very happy."
"Gianluca Di Marzio also reports that Iraola hasn't given the ok to Milan yet. In addition to Palace, Bayer Leverkusen are a possible landing spot, and there is even a chance that Liverpool could turn to him if they decide to sack Arne Slot."
