After being sacked by Liverpool, Arne Slot is now the leading candidate to become the new manager of AC Milan, according to a report.
Milan decided to part ways with Massimiliano Allegri after the defeat to Cagliari, also sacking the CEO, the sporting director and the chief scout. Subsequently, they are looking for several figures to lead the next project, including a head coach.

Oliver Glasner has been mentioned as the primary candidate by Fabrizio Romano, while Ralf Rangnick seems to be in pole position to become the main director. However, a new name has now been thrown into the mix.
Slot to Milan?!
According to Sacha Tavolieri, as a result of Liverpool’s decision to sack Arne Slot, the Dutch manager is now the leading candidate to take over Milan. Contacts are underway between the parties, while Ramon Planes is also the frontrunner for the sporting director role.
It’s a bit of a surprise as none of the reports in recent days have even mentioned Slot, not to mention that the reports this morning (and this afternoon) painted Glasner as the clear favourite. On the other hand, it technically wasn’t until this afternoon that Slot became available.
Tavolieri isn’t the most reliable journalist around, but he’s also not known for making things up or even exaggerating his information. As such, it’s worth keeping an eye on, even if Slot doesn’t feel like a likely candidate.
