AC Milan are attempting an ambitious signing in Andoni Iraola to be their new head coach and the Spaniard has been made promises.

As has already been reported, the Rossoneri have entered the race for the manager late, falling behind Bayer Leverkusen and Crystal Palace – both of whom have had an extended interest in him – but that may not matter.
Indeed, if the project is right, and with Iraola yet to make a decision, the Spaniard could well head to San Siro for his next job.
Ibra’s promises
To sweeten the deal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been in regular contact with his number one choice and Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) and he has reportedly made him two promises.
The first is that Milan will make ‘significant signings’ over the next two years to bring their level up. Then, he has also promised to stand by the manager, even in times of trouble. This sounds like it should be the norm, but all three of the last managers have been hung out to dry in tough times.
