The next two matches against Roma and Monza will not only be the last two games of Milan's 2024-2025 season, but also the last two games of Sergio Conceição on the Rossoneri bench. His departure has actually been set for some time now; some thought that winning the Coppa Italia might have changed something, but in reality, the club had already decided to change the head coach several weeks ago.
Who will take his place?
According to gazzetta.it, in the last few hours, the odds of Vincenzo Italiano, coach of Bologna who just yesterday defeated Milan in the Coppa Italia final, have risen sharply. His name was already on the list of the Rossoneri directors, but now his profile is gaining momentum. His excellent season at the helm of the Rossoblù is evident to everyone, and already yesterday after the match, the Emilian club made it clear that they want to continue with Italiano and are ready to secure him with a new contract. Alongside him, the "usual" Sarri, De Zerbi, and Allegri also remain in the running.
Is Milan looking for an Italian coach?
In theory, before identifying the name of the new coach, the new sporting director should be appointed, a search that has now been going on for months. Regardless of who will join the club (if anyone actually does), the club's idea is still to appoint an Italian coach who knows Italian football and the Serie A championship well. After two foreign coaches, Milan is ready to have an Italian coach once again, to be seen whether he will have the capital "I" or not, as relayed via Milannews.it.
