Lopetegui’s Arrangement with Milan All Set, White Smoke Expected – Current Situation Analysis

Julen Lopetegui is closer than ever to reaching a deal to become AC Milan’s new head coach. This potential move is heating up the red and black Milanese side’s bench, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic pushing for his appointment.

According to respected Italian football journalist Daniele Longo, the Italian club is only a step away from making this historic move. “An agreement has already been reached in principle with the Spanish manager Lopetegui,” reports Longo.

However, Milanese fans and football enthusiasts worldwide will still have to wait for the ‘white smoke,’ signaling the finalization of Lopetegui’s appointment. The last details of the transfer are yet to be agreed upon.

Given the calibre of Lopetegui, who previously managed Spanish giants Real Madrid and Spanish national team, this appointment could be a significant step forward for AC Milan.

Especially, when it is driven by influential striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is believed to have a significant say in the potential transfer. His endorsement of Lopetegui could indeed play a crucial part in sealing the deal.

However, until the shirt is donned and the contract is signed, the world of football waits, perhaps a little impatiently, for the final agreement.
