Julen Lopetegui is reportedly in pole position to replace Stefano Pioli next season.
The Spanish coach was linked to the Rossoneri a couple of months ago. However, there have been a couple of exploratory contacts and meetings, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
No proposal has yet been put forward, but as of today, it is the most important track to keep an eye on. He is an international profile, accustomed to working with young players. Another managerial figure, much like Pioli has been in recent years.
At 58, Lopetegui could have the last big opportunity of his career, but it will all depend on the last month of the season, including the Europa League and league derby matches.
