The two managers Rangnick is said to have recommended to coach Milan are Glasner and Jaisul. Milan are expected to hold talks with Rangnick in the coming days, while the German is also expected to discuss his future with the Austrian Football Association next week.
Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic is said to be backing him. Appointment of Mr. Arne Slottwas released to Liverpool at the weekend.
