AC Milan are looking to move quickly and try identify the right head coach to take over from Stefano Pioli, with a new candidate having emerged: Domenico Tedesco.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Gerry Cardinale has decided to change head coach in the summer and during his visit to Italy over the last few days he spoke about various profiles in meetings with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada.

In the latest discussions Tedesco’s name came up, the current coach of the Belgian national team. He will be occupied during the next European Championships starting in June, but after that he could continue his club career with Milan.

His identikit matches the profile outlined by the club: young but already a high level coach, in line with the budget and the exponent of a modern playing philosophy oriented towards young players.

In the Bundesliga he coached Schalke and RB Leipzig, with whom he won the DFB Pokal, the first title in the club’s history. He moved to Spartak Moscow and was appointed Belgium coach in February 2023.
