The discontent of the fans has made an impact at Casa Milan: the hypothesis of Julen Lopetegui has definitively collapsed.
This is what La Gazzetta dello Sport writes this morning in its newspaper, after in recent days the same publication had been very clear about the choice of the Spanish coach by the Rossoneri. He was the chosen one, with the first contacts dating back to December.
In recent days, a draft of a three-year contract worth 4 million euros per season had been defined. All gone.
The club, writes the newspaper, will not allow other choices to be imposed, but respects the feelings of the fans and their stance could not go unheard.
Now reflections turn to the other profiles on the list. The first alternative was and is Paulo Fonseca, coach of Lille expiring in June, on whom Milan has been working for some time with repeated contacts and dialogues.
An international profile who already knows Serie A, a not secondary aspect in the final decision. He is also followed by Marseille. The other strong name, evaluated with great attention in recent days, is that of Roberto De Zerbi.
The profile intrigues for the style of play and for the ability to work with young players. His name excites the fans, certainly more than the Portuguese colleague, Fonseca.
Reflections of an economic nature are also underway for the current Brighton coach because he is protected by a clause of 14 to 15 million euros.
According to the Italian newspaper, the English club could be open to listening to alternative proposals as they aim to monetise. The outsider as of today is Mark Van Bommel: in June he will bid farewell to Antwerp and he knows Zlatan Ibrahimovic well, as well as the Rossoneri environment since he played there and won the Serie A title in Rossonero colours.
