TyC Sports: Milan have ‘asked for a meeting’ with Gallardo – the situation

AC Milan have asked for a meeting with Marcelo Gallardo over the possibility of him becoming their next head coach, according to a report from Argentina.

A report from Sky last night claimed that Milan are thinking about Gallardo, who made history with River Plate but is now in the Saudi Pro League with Al Ittihad, a club he is about to leave.

According to the latest from Gaston Edul of TyC Sports, Milan have ‘asked for a meeting’ with Gallardo implying that they do indeed have an interest in probing the track.

The 48-year-old has not yet resolved his departure from Al Ittihad. Today there will be a meeting to see if he can leave now or if he has to coach the next three games before departing.

The journalist adds that Gallardo is not the only candidate that Milan are looking at and there are  ‘several more’ on the list. Gallardo does not appear to be the main candidate at present even, but it remains true that Milan have requested a meeting with him.

It will not be easy though, because the Argentina has to formalise his exit from the Saudi club and at the moment there is no guarantee on time frame.
