AC Milan approach Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola after Max Allegri sacking

AC Milan are reportedly wasting no time in their search for a new manager following the sacking of Massimiliano Allegri with Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola in their sights.

AC Milan confirmed Allegri’s dismissal the day after their failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League, ending their Serie A campaign in fifth.

According to Sky Sports, the club are wasting no time in hiring his successor and have made an approach for Bournemouth’s Iraola, 43.

Iraola announced he will be leaving Bournemouth once his contract expires this summer earlier in the season.

The Spaniard then went on to secure Europa League football for the first time in the club’s history, going 17 Premier League games unbeaten.

Iraola won’t be short of options and has also been linked with Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen, alongside Serie A rivals Napoli.
