Rangnick eyes Man United and Southampton staff for Milan, but issues ultimatum – report | OneFootball

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Ralf Rangnick wants to bring Southampton director Johannes Spors and Manchester United head scout Christopher Vivell to Milan, but expects a final decision from the Rossoneri by next week.

Milan are yet to appoint new directors and a coach after sacking Massimiliano Allegri, Giorgio Furlani, Geoffrey Moncada and Igli Tare at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

Their primary option for the technical director role is Austria coach Rangnick, who has just flown to the USA for the World Cup.

The 67-year-old has met with Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, expressing openness to the opportunity, but only if he can implement his vision and bring some trusted staff members to San Siro.

According to Gazzetta, Rangnick wants to work with Southampton director of sport Spors and Manchester United head scout Vivell at San Siro, while Oliver Glasner remains his top coaching choice.

According to the report, Milan are interested in Glasner regardless of whether Rangnick is appointed as a technical director, though USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino is also a strong candidate for the Milan job.

Ibrahimovic and Cardinale have already met with the representatives of both Glasner and Pochettino, while, according to Gazzetta, Rangnick expects a decision from Milan regarding his potential appointment by the beginning of next week.
