Milan want Iraola or Xavi to be the next manager of the club

The Cherries’ outgoing head coach, Andoni Iraola, has emerged as a primary target for AC Milan after the Italian club already contacted his agent. The Spaniard is among the favorites of the directors of Milan for the next boss, alongside Catalan legend Xavi, and through EPL rivals Crystal Palace, also do everything possible to hire Iraola.

The Italian team initiated talks with Andoni’s agent after the overhaul at the end of the season in Serie A. Milan contacted the Spaniard after the sacking of Max Allegri after a catastrophic final-day loss vs. Cagliari.

Andoni, who recently finished a successful 3-year tenure with the Cherries, is now thinking about his options for the future.

Xavi is also an option for Rossoneri as they want to change the whole philosophy of the club after the embarrassing defeat in their last match in the league, which cost them their place in the Champions League, and next campaign they will play in the Europa League despite the fact that they needed only a point at San Siro against Cagliari, but lost it.
