Glasner nears AC Milan job after advanced talks

Oliver Glasner is on the verge of becoming AC Milan’s new head coach, with negotiations entering an advanced stage in recent days. The Times reports that Milan moved swiftly for the Austrian after sacking Massimiliano Allegri, whose fifth‑place finish and failure to qualify for the Champions League triggered the club’s decision to change direction.

Glasner’s stock has risen sharply following his outstanding achievements with Crystal Palace, where he delivered historic success by winning the FA Cup, the Community Shield and the UEFA Europa Conference League. His work has placed him among Europe’s most respected coaches and attracted interest from several major clubs.

As Milan seek to rebuild their technical project, Glasner is seen as the ideal figure to lead a new cycle. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have already begun searching for his successor, with several notable European candidates emerging as potential replacements.
