AC Milan are in the market for a new head coach and there is one name that appeals in particular appeals to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a report claims.

Calciomercato.com recall the names that have been linked with the Milan job: Antonio Conte, Thiago Motta, Roberto De Zerbi, Julen Lopetegui, Paulo Fonseca, Christophe Galtier, Marcelo Gallardo, Sergio Conceiçao and Marco Rose.

There are nine candidates to coach Milan, all reported either yesterday or today. The tenth is Mark van Bommel, who is a man that is well known to the Rossoneri given that he was a part of the Scudetto-winning side in 2010-11.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will choose the next head coach of Milan, as per the report, and he knows that there is no room for making a mistake given that the post-Pioli era has an obligation to bring success and trophies.

Ibrahimovic would like Van Bommel, the Dutchman who was his team-mate in 2011. However, his career as a player doesn’t count for anything when it comes to management and the Swede knows that.

Van Bommel made his way through the coaching ranks, starting with Netherlands U17 assistant in 2013, the continuing with being Saudi Arabia assistant and PSV U19 manager.

He was Australia’s assistant, then PSV head coach, Wolfsburg head coach and joined Antwerp in 2022, winning the league and cup double last season.
