Barcelona legend Xavi is being tipped to return to management in Italy with Serie A giants AC Milan.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Xavi is top of the list to replace Massimiliano Allegri and has been recommended to the club by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The former striker works as a special advisor to the club and thinks Xavi would be a good choice. Outgoing Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is also in the club’s thoughts as they ponder their next move.
Milan are said to be looking to a future and a coach
who will provide an “attacking style of play and innovative ideas” after a season where they finished down in fifth place in the table.
Xavi has been out of work since leaving Barcelona but has been linked with several top jobs since then, most recently Chelsea.
The Blues have since appointed Xabi Alonso as their new coach but it seems Xavi could still have a chance of returning to management imminently in Italy.
