    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Juve have shown interest in De Zerbi, though no formal approach has been made yet, with several names such as Roberto Mancini in contention. While De Zerbi's priority remains Marseille, he respects the Bianconeri and would be interested in their project. Milan are said to be a club 'dear to his heart', but the decision will ultimately depend on the preferences of the incoming sporting director, despite partial approval from the current management.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Along with De Zerbi, Milan have reportedly shortlisted six other managers — Carlo Ancelotti, Massimiliano Allegri, Vincenzo Italiano, Antonio Conte, Maurizio Sarri, and Gian Piero Gasperini — to succeed Sergio Conceicao as head coach next season.
