Bianchin: Milan are third place for Conte at the moment – the other hypotheses | OneFootball

AC Milan may look to Antonio Conte this summer as the man to lead the new project forward, however, it seems they may not be granted the choice.

The past few weeks have thrown up several names for the Milan job, though Massimiliano Allegri and Cesc Fabregas have been the only two to stick. Even then, though, there are questions about the legitimacy and feasibility of both.

Starting with the Italian, a lot has been said about Allegri’s future, but words from his former mentor in the past few days have brought some doubt into the equation, especially with suggestions that there have been no contacts yet.

Then, with Fabregas, the picture is quite similar. Giorgio Furlani prefers the Spaniard, but there may be more obstacles in the way of the process, especially considering the former midfielder’s tangible ties to his current club.

Today, speaking to Radio Punto Nuovo, Luca Bianchin shed some light on the situation, and Milan News have relayed his words.

Conte for AC Milan? We have to wait, much will depend on the choice of the sporting director. The Allegri and Fabregas suggestions have gathered more consensus so far, but as of today, they are only hypotheses.

“Without DS, the new coach cannot be chosen. The name of Allegri fascinates the Milan fans, then we know what happened between Conte and Milan last season. To date, I see the former Chelsea more between Napoli and Juventus, but in football, never say never.”
