Repubblica: Conte favoured in Milan’s manager pursuit – Mancini and Allegri behind | OneFootball

Antonio Conte is the primary candidate to replace Sergio Conceicao at AC Milan for next season, according to a report. However, since his future with Napoli is uncertain, the Rossoneri also have some alternatives.

Milan secured a second consecutive win for the first time in one month yesterday, beating Como 2-1, and Conceicao thus got a bit of breathing room. However, he remains destined to leave the Rossoneri at the end of the season.

According to today’s edition of La Repubblica, via Il Garante, Milan currently have Conte as the primary candidate for the job. The main question, of course, is whether he will be able to free himself from Napoli in the summer (he has a contract with the Partenopei until 2027).

The alternatives to Conte, as the newspaper continues, are Roberto Mancini and Max Allegri. The latter has been heavily linked with Milan in recent weeks but as we highlighted in one of our features, he has some leverage over the media.

In the meantime, Conceicao will be looking to at least get Milan a Europa League spot before packing his bags. Champions League still isn’t impossible, currently five points behind, but Juventus and Lazio both have a game in hand to play tonight.
