Milan remains in contact with Andoni Iraola as a potential new coach after Massimiliano Allegri and other leadership figures were sacked. Club sources indicate Milan wants a proactive, more entertaining style rather than Allegri’s approach. Iraola had been in talks, but La Gazzetta dello Sport reported he chose Crystal Palace. Fabrizio Romano stated Iraola has not finalized his choice and Milan is still assessing whether he wants to leave the Premier League. Romano added that Iraola is considering past near-misses for top jobs and wants to make evaluations before leaving elite football. Milan’s ability to meet budget and ambition expectations will influence his approval.
"Milan are definitely continuing its contacts with Iraola and those close to him. We told you about the meeting in London with Cardinale and those who are leading the Milan project. What Milan are waiting to see is whether Iraola wants to leave the Premier League scene. Before turning Milan down - because that's not what we're talking about - Iraola is thinking about the fact that he was one step away from becoming the manager of teams like Chelsea and United."
"He's been a bit unlucky in his Premier League coaching career this year, given that there were several opportunities. So before leaving elite football, he wants to make some assessments. We'll have to see whether Milan, in terms of budget and ambition, will be able to secure Iraola's definitive approval."
"What has filtered from sources inside the club is that they want someone who is basically the opposite of Allegri, with a more proactive and entertaining style of play. Iraola fits the bill and was in talks, yet last night La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed he has chosen Crystal Palace, for a few reasons."
