Rangnick Sets Deadline for AC Milan Decisions
June 5, 2026 · Joaquín Castro
Ralf Rangnick is pressuring AC Milan for a decision on his future and the appointment of his trusted staff, including potential new director of sports Johannes Spors.
Ralf Rangnick is increasing pressure on AC Milan, emphasizing that the club has no time to waste. Recently, he departed Austria for North America without clear assurances regarding his future with the team. To alleviate concerns about Rangnick's position, the Austrian FA reportedly offered him a contract extension. The German coach has set a deadline for early next week, expecting a response to the conditions he has outlined for the Rossoneri. Among his stipulations is the appointment of his trusted collaborator, director of sports Johannes Spors, who is currently with Southampton. Additionally, he seeks to bring in youth coaches, head scout Christopher Vivell from Manchester United, and other staff members. Meanwhile, the preferred choice for Milan's head coach appears to be former Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, regardless of whether Rangnick is appointed. Also in the mix is U.S. national team coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has received praise from Christian Pulisic.
