What happened: Multiple sources in Italy report that Oliver Glasner remains the leading candidate to become AC Milan's new head coach. However, Gazzetta dello Sport reports the Rossoneri have also reached an agreement with Mauricio Pochettino, while reports involving Arne Slot remain mixed and unconfirmed.

Why it matters: The managerial decision is central to Milan's plans for the upcoming 2026 season as the club looks to rebuild on the bench. Glasner's link to Milan follows weeks of stalled talks with other targets, leaving the appointment unsettled.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation of which candidate Milan formally pursue and whether the reported Pochettino agreement is finalized or superseded by Glasner.
