Traeff Overview

AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale is taking his time to finalise the club's next managerial appointment despite holding a draft agreement with Oliver Glasner. The Rossoneri hierarchy are widening their search to consider alternative profiles, including former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim and Alvaro Arbeloa, to find a specific technical vision.

Crystal Palace have moved quickly to secure their next managerial appointment following the departure of Oliver Glasner. The Eagles have reached an agreement in principle with RC Lens head coach Pierre Sage to take the reins at Selhurst Park.

Oliver Glasner has emerged as AC Milan’s leading managerial candidate after a lengthy meeting with owner Gerry Cardinale and advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Austrian is understood to be intrigued by the prospect of working in Serie A, although Fulham are also monitoring his situation as they search for a potential successor to Marco Silva.

Brad Friedel has - during an exclusive interview with GOAL - sought to play down expectations around “poster boy” Christian Pulisic, but considers four other players to sit alongside ‘Captain America’ in the USMNT’s “undroppable” pool. The United States are considered to be working with a ‘Golden Generation’ of talent as a home World Cup is taken in.
