June 14, 2026 · Sara MartĂnez
Ralf Rangnick will not be joining Milan as he extends his contract with Austria's national team until 2028. Meanwhile, Roberto Mancini has left Al-Sadd, increasing speculation about a return to Italy. Ruben Amorim is now leading the race to become Milan's next head coach.
Ralf Rangnick has committed his future to Austria, signing a contract extension that will keep him as the national team's head coach until 2028. This development ends any speculation about his potential move to AC Milan, allowing the Italian club to expedite their search for a new head coach without waiting for Rangnick's availability. Milan is now reportedly focusing on Ruben Amorim, who recently had an extensive discussion with the club's ownership, positioning him as a front-runner for the role. The proposed contract for Amorim includes a two-year term with an option to extend until 2029.

In a separate development, Roberto Mancini has officially parted ways with Al-Sadd. The Qatari club announced his departure through a video message from Mancini himself. This move has fueled rumors of Mancini's potential return as the head coach of the Italian national team, pending approval from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).
These developments in the coaching world come amidst various other football-related news, including comments from Inter Milan's vice president Javier Zanetti, who discussed the prospect of José Mourinho returning to manage Real Madrid. Additionally, Rolando Mandragora remains a key figure in transfer rumors, although he is expected to stay at Fiorentina with a contract extending to 2028.
