AC Milan is reportedly moving away from appointing Roberto De Zerbi of Olympique de Marseille as their next manager, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. Initially considered a potential candidate to take over the reins at Milan, De Zerbi's future at Marseille remains uncertain despite a challenging first season that could still culminate in UEFA Champions League qualification. AC Milan, expected to part ways with current manager Sergio Conceiçao, has shifted their focus to pursuing a return of Massimiliano Allegri, the former Scudetto-winning coach with the club in 2011, potentially signaling the end of their pursuit of De Zerbi.
Overall, AC Milan seems to be redirecting their managerial search away from De Zerbi towards Allegri, as the Italian club aims to make a significant coaching change ahead of the upcoming season.
