Milan owners Elliott Management are reportedly keen to bring Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis on board, replacing CEO Marco Fassone.

The U.S hedge fund has seized control of the club from Yonghong Li, and is in the process of overhauling the board.

According to this morning’s Corriere della Sera, Gazidis remains the prime candidate to join the board, where it’s likely he’d replace Fassone.

Leonardo, a former Rossoneri player and Coach, will likely be appointed as technical director.

Leonardo is reportedly ‘a step away’ from returning to Milan as their general manager.

According to Sport Mediaset, Leonardo is currently locked in talks with Milan, making him ‘very close’ to rejoining the club for a fourth spell, despite the Curva Sud opposing his appointment.

The Brazilian scored 30 goals in 124 appearances for the Rossoneri over two stints as a player, winning a Scudetto and Coppa Italia, as well as the 1994 World Cup with his country.

Milan ultras released a statement urging Elliott Management to stick with Gennaro Gattuso and Massimiliano Mirabelli, but not hire Leonardo.

The club is in turmoil after President Yonghong Li defaulted on his debts, so US hedge fund Elliott Management repossessed his assets.

It’s believed they will put in a new Board of Directors on July 21, which could include former Coach and player Leonardo.

Paolo Maldini insists “nobody has called me” from Milan’s new owners Elliott Management, but he has “always been open to talk.”

The club icon has been repeatedly linked with a role at San Siro, especially after Yonghong Li lost control to US hedge fund Elliott for defaulting on debts.

“Nobody has called me” from Milan, Maldini told Mediaset Premium.

“I have always been open to talk, so I’ve never closed the door on anyone for at least a dialogue.”

New Milan owners Elliott Management have reportedly approached Leonardo, Sassuolo’s Giovanni Carnevali and Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis.

The club is now in the hands of US hedge fund Elliott Management Corporation after President Yonghong Li defaulted on his debts, so the holding company was repossessed.

Milan’s new owners Elliott Management have reportedly contacted former player, director and Coach Leonardo after Paolo Maldini turned them down.

US hedge fund Elliott now effectively run the club after President Yonghong Li defaulted on his debts, but a new Board of Directors will only be voted in after July 21.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the new patrons have approached Leonardo to ask if he would be interested in a new role.

The full list of players for Andrea Pirlo’s farewell match has been revealed, including Ronaldo, Frank Lampard, Alessandro Del Piero and Clarence Seedorf.

The former midfielder retired at the end of the 2017 MLS season, but will play in a farewell match at San Siro on May 21.

Some names had already been revealed, but now Il Maestro has announced the full star-studded line-up.

Most of the 2006 World Cup winning squad will be there, as well as legends like Ronaldo, Andriy Shevchenko, Cafu and Demetrio Albertini.

Antalyaspor have officially confirmed that former Inter and Milan Coach Leonardo has left the club by mutual consent.

The Brazilian has only been on the bench in Turkey for just over two months, but a run of one win in four has seen him leave ahead of Saturday’s game with Gençlerbirliği.

“Our thanks to Coach Leonardo, with whom our paths have divided by mutual agreement,” the club confirmed on Twitter.

Former Milan and Inter Coach Leonardo is ready to leave Turkish club Antalyaspor after just two months, it’s reported.

The Brazilian only took over on September 28 and had a contract to June 2019.

However, Sky Sport Italia report Leonardo has decided to walk away due to a crisis within the club, which saw the President already resign.

It would open him up to potential jobs in Serie A both as a Coach and director of sport.
