# Crystal Palace News as Milan consider Ex-Man Utd boss over Glasner

- AC Milan now eyeing Glasner and ex-Man Utd coach
- Ruben Amorim on a three-man shortlist
- Serie A giants initally favoured Glasner

**[AC Milan](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2026/06/05/crystal-palace-oliver-glasner-beats-liverpool-arne-slot-ac-milan-football/) could snub former [Crystal Palace](https://readcrystalpalace.com/crystal-palace-club-history-trophies-moments/) boss [Oliver Glasner](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2026/06/11/crystal-palace-news-glasner-to-ac-milan-football/) and turn to sacked [Manchester United](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2026/06/07/crystal-palace-transfer-news-mateta-will-snub-man-utd/) head coach Ruben Amorim. The Serie A giants have been in talks with Glasner in recent days.**

According to The Athletic’s [Matteo Moretto](https://x.com/MatteMoretto/status/2065097285214568460), Milan are expected to have direct contact with Glasner, Amorim and Al-Ahli’s Matthias Jaissle. They are yet to make a decision over who replaces Massimiliano Allegri.

Glasner appeared to be the frontrunner, with reports even suggesting he wants to take [Jean-Philippe Mateta](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2026/06/11/crystal-palace-transfer-news-europa-league-ac-milan-mateta-football/) with him to the San Siro. That doesn’t appear to be the case, though, as Moretto claims that the former Eagles boss is “slightly losing ground in the preferences.”

## Milan not set on Glasner

Milan are undergoing a complete reset after sacking Allegri and several directors. The Rossoneri finished fifth in Serie A this season, missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification.

The European giants will instead be playing in next season’s Europa League. There’s a good chance they face Palace, who qualified after winning the UEFA Conference League.

Glasner bid farewell to the South London outfit in Leipzig after overseeing a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. He has since been heavily linked with Milan while Eredivisie club Feyenoord are also eyeing him.

## Amorim would be a mistake

If Milan opt for Amorim over Glasner, they will be making a huge mistake. One performed miracles at a club that hadn’t won a major trophy before his arrival.

The other stumbled under the pressure of coaching Manchester United, statistically the worst coach in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era. He had been highly rated when he took charge of the Red Devils in November 2024.

Amorim’s ill-fated 14 months at Old Trafford included a 15th-placed finish in the Premier League. He was sacked in January and replaced by Michael Carrick.
