AC Milan is currently exploring various options for their managerial and sporting director positions. For the manager role, Oliver Glasner, who recently left Crystal Palace, was initially considered a top candidate, but his chances seem to have diminished. Ruben Amorim, previously linked to Manchester United, is now in the lead, with a contract offer reportedly made to him. Matthias Jaissle, currently managing Al Ahli, is another contender, having discussed a potential move with Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The sporting director position has several candidates, with Markus Krösche emerging as a leading figure. He has experience working at RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt, and is appreciated for his ability to set up a club for long-term success. Ramon Planes, who has worked with Tottenham and Barcelona, is another name in the conversation, having achieved significant signings during his time at Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.

Krösche could potentially join Milan as 'Head of Football' alongside Amorim or Jaissle. The club's management, including Ibrahimovic and Cardinale, are keen on Krösche due to his skills in managing club transitions and identifying valuable player assets.

The Rossoneri are looking to finalize their managerial and sporting director appointments soon, with several factors influencing their decision-making process.
