Are you leaving Saudi Arabia and going to Europe? Marcelo Gallardo in the sights of a giant

After a season marked by disappointments, along with the recent elimination in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, Milan plans to make significant changes to its bench. Given this, Marcelo Gallardo has emerged as one of the main candidates to occupy the position of coach. As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, the possible departure of current coach Stefano Pioli seems to be sealed after a series of adverse results, including the aforementioned elimination in the Europa League and the Coppa Italia.In addition, fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the technical direction and management of the club in general, stating that the team has become boring and out of ideas. In an open letter, they have made a vehement call for a change that will reinvigorate the competitive spirit. In this way, Gallardo’s profile emerges as an attractive option, as his track record at the helm of River stands out, which includes two Copa Libertadores among 14 other titles, and his ability to promote young talent. It is also highlighted that he is not a coach who is easily pigeonholed, although his main focus is the mastery of the game and the quick circulation of the ball. Likewise, the same media outlet made it clear that Milan’s leadership has four other names under consideration, including Spaniard Julen Lopetegui and Portuguese Paulo Fonseca.
