He Milan seems to be in pole position to take over Julen Lopetegui, who remains without a team since he left Wolverhampton in August 2023. The Lombard club made the Basque coach the first choice, although not the only one. If negotiations, which are currently underway, fail, there is a plan B. Milan is not the only club Lopetegui has spoken to.
They point out from Italy that there will be an offer from Milan for Lopetegui, who will come to replace Stefano Pioli who will be packing his bags in the summer after not fully meeting the expectations placed on him. The contacts are frequent and there is a draft agreement and, according to ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’, the next two weeks are important for the future of the club and the coach.
Milan will offer the former Sevilla coach a three-year contract for around 4 million net per season. The reading in Italy is that the fact that the offer is for three years indicates that the club has a project in mind, and that is encouraging. We will have to see how Julen responds, as he does not have the support of many of the team’s fans, who prefer Antonio Conte to take the reins of the team. If Lopetegui’s plan fails, Paulo Fonseca and De Zerbi are in the room.
