AC Milan Considers Arne Slot Without Liverpool's Approval

Arne Slot, the Dutch coach recently dismissed by Liverpool, has emerged as a potential candidate to lead Italian club AC Milan. Liverpool announced on Saturday the immediate termination of Slot's role as the team's head coach after two seasons.

According to the English newspaper Daily Mail, AC Milan is contemplating making an offer to Slot as they seek a new manager following the dismissal of Massimiliano Allegri, who is expected to join Napoli. The Italian club has already initiated contact with Andoni Iraola, the coach likely to replace Slot at Liverpool, though Iraola is awaiting communication from Liverpool's sporting director, Richard Hughes.

AC Milan also plans to meet with Oliver Glasner, the Austrian coach formerly of Crystal Palace, who recently led the London club to victory in the Europa League against Spain's Rayo Vallecano. The Daily Mail reported that Milan does not require Liverpool's approval to negotiate with Slot, as his departure terms reportedly permit him to engage in talks with other clubs.

Earlier, AC Milan dismissed Allegri along with sporting director Igli Tare, CEO Giorgio Furlani, and technical director Jeffrey Moncada, following the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League. Ramon Planes, the former sporting director of Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona, is considered the leading candidate to assume the role of Milan's new sporting director.
