According to Corriere dello Sport, the race to succeed Paulo Fonseca at Milan after the derby against Inter has generated considerable speculation, with one prominent name continually emerging: Thomas Tuchel. The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager is reportedly under serious consideration for the role.
However, there is a significant concern that may impede Tuchel’s potential appointment. Giorgio Furlani, a key figure within Milan’s management structure, finds himself apprehensive about one particular aspect of Tuchel’s candidacy.
“Tuchel’s wage demands are extraordinarily high, almost impossible for us to match under the current financial constraints,” Furlani reportedly expressed, as cited by Corriere dello Sport.
This financial hurdle presents a substantial obstacle, casting doubt on the feasibility of an agreement.
In spite of this, Tuchel remains a top contender, with his pedigree and impressive track record making him a highly attractive option for Milan’s leadership.
Fans and analysts alike are keenly awaiting further developments, as Milan’s pursuit of a new manager gains momentum.
