The story originally appeared on November 27 on Calciomercato.com and today Bild backed up the claims.
Former Stuttgart, Schalke and RB Leipzig coach Rangnick is known for his insistence on controlling all aspects of the side, from the transfer strategy to training and nutrition.
German newspaper Bild have confirmed reports that emerged in Italy last month suggesting Milan offered Ralf Rangnick full powers as coach and director of sport.
The story originally appeared on November 27 on Calciomercato.com and today Bild backed up the claims.
Former Stuttgart, Schalke and RB Leipzig coach Rangnick is known for his insistence on controlling all aspects of the side, from the transfer strategy to training and nutrition.
The German would be coach, chief scout and also director of sport for the Rossoneri.
It would essentially make the likes of Paolo Maldini and Zvonimir Boban irrelevant, cutting down the salary bill significantly and streamlining the structure of the club.
Rangnick is currently Head of Sport and Development Soccer for the Red Bull organisation, which owns both RB Leipzig and Austrians RB Salzburg.
Although he could only officially take the Milan job in June, it’s reported he’d begin working behind the scenes in January to identify the areas where the squad needs to be changed.
According to Bild, he has not yet accepted, but is open to discussing the situation.
