Milan’s leadership picture is beginning to take shape, with Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Marcus Krosche emerging as the leading candidate for a senior role at the club, while Ruben Amorim and Matthias Jaissle have overtaken Oliver Glasner in the race for the head coach position.
According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, via MilanNews, Krosche represents an ideal fit for RedBird’s vision and is genuinely attracted by the prospect of joining Milan.
“Krosche is fascinated by Milan, there are negotiations ongoing,” Moretto said. “He is the first name to take charge of the sporting side of Milan, to the point that he could enter the club as technical director and not only as sporting director. There are advanced discussions between the parties.”
Glasner loses significant ground as Amorim emerges as most feasible option for Milan
On the coaching front, Moretto identified Amorim and Jaissle as the two strongest candidates, with the former Sporting and Manchester United coach emerging as the most realistic option both financially and practically.
“From an economic and feasibility point of view, the Portuguese is the most accessible,” Moretto said. “Oliver Glasner has lost ground, and a lot of it.”
The developments suggest the Rossoneri’s restructuring is finally gathering momentum after weeks of inactivity, with the appointment of a sporting figure potentially preceding, and shaping, the final decision on who takes charge of the first team.
