Lopetegui Dismissed Offer from England Favouring Milan Job

Renowned Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui is rumoured to be potentially replacing Stefano Pioli at AC Milan’s helm. Putting an end to speculation, Lopetegui reportedly turned down an offer from English Premier League team, Crystal Palace. The Spanish tactician expressed a keen interest in Milan alone, dismissing the idea of moving to London.

The revelation comes courtesy of Spanish sports news outlet AS, highlighting Lopetegui’s excitement at the prospect of reinvigorating his career in Italy’s prestigious Serie A.

Antonio Conte, the former Chelsea and Juventus manager, has always been the top pick for the Rossoneri. However, the lure of moving back to Juventus might be too strong for Conte to resist.

As a result, Lopetegui is emerging as more than just an idea for AC Milan’s managerial position, should Conte decide to go elsewhere.
