Ralf Rangnick in talks to overhaul AC Milan with supervisory role

Ralf Rangnick is in advanced discussions to lead a sweeping overhaul at AC Milan after a decisive meeting in Vienna with club chiefs including Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He outlined conditions for joining the Rossoneri if he leaves the Austrian national team after the World Cup, making clear he is not discussing a return to the bench but a role as total supervisor covering every technical aspect of the club.

The post-meeting atmosphere was described as positive, though no final decision has been reached. Rangnick wants to be head of the technical department with the power to appoint the next first-team coach and to bring a large staff, reportedly in the double digits, especially for scouting and data analysis.

His plan calls for a systematic reorganisation of the youth teams and a consistent pathway from the grassroots to the first team, mirroring the model used across the Red Bull group and its emphasis on cutting‑edge scouting and talent development.
