“Pochettino becomes the favorite for the position at Milan.”

Mauricio Pochettino is rapidly gaining ground to take over the managerial role at AC Milan, surpassing Oliver Glasner in the race for the position left vacant by Max Allegri. Former Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been officially ruled out, a process that leaves the future of the Rossoneri shrouded in uncertainty.

Following the dismissal of Max Allegri, AC Milan is experiencing a chaotic moment, with sporting director Igli Tare, CEO Giorgio Furlani, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada announcing their departure in a joint statement. For a time, the contest between Glasner, the current manager of Crystal Palace, and Slot appeared to be the most likely outcome, but in recent hours the situation has changed dramatically.

Oliver Glasner even met with the club’s management for six hours, a meeting that, according to sources, was not enough to convince owner Gerry Cardinale and special advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic to proceed with his appointment. On the other hand, Pochettino, currently preparing the United States national team for the 2026 World Cup, is rapidly rising in Milan’s preferences, despite his international commitments.

The former coach of Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain, who is co-organizing the World Cup with Canada and Mexico, could be the next manager to attempt to revive the Italian giant. However, the official decision is not expected to be known until next week, leaving preparations for the new season in limbo and without a clear direction.

AC Milan is facing a decisive moment, where the choice of coach could define the club’s immediate future and its European ambitions. The bet on Pochettino could mark a new cycle, but time is running out and the pressure to resolve the situation is mounting. The Rossoneri fans are eagerly awaiting an outcome that will put an end to this impasse and restore stability to San Siro.
