🔥 Milan push hard for Iraola but he...wants more time! Rivalry is 😱

After the earthquake, rebuilding is a must. The debacle on Sunday evening against Cagliari and the failure to qualify for a Champions League spot that had seemed well within reach marked the breaking point for a Milan side that now absolutely has to rise from its ashes. 

With Massimiliano Allegri’s spell over — along with those of Tare, Furlani and Moncada — on the Rossoneri bench, the Diavolo are now looking for a new coach. At the moment, one name has pulled clear of the competition: Andoni Iraola. The Basque manager, fresh from securing Europa League qualification with Bournemouth, is the figure that most intrigues the club’s hierarchy as they look to begin a new cycle.

According to Daniele Longo, Milan and Iraola are said to have agreed on salary and contract length. After an initial meeting in London last week, further contacts are expected in the coming hours because the coach "wants to understand more about the project, the reinforcement campaign and the budget, which will be very limited given the fifth-place finish (around 30/35 million).

And while Milan are making moves, clubs abroad are not just standing by. Iraola is in fact highly rated and, as reported by Bilbao Hiria, the competition is fierce. And when the interested clubs come from England and Germany, also considering the budgets made available to their teams, it is never good news. The Basque coach is in the sights of Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen, with the German club said to have made the first move to secure him.

The next few hours and the next few days will be decisive.
