AC Milan's record this season has been worrying, and the lagging situation in the Serie A is particularly obvious, having opened up a 14-point gap with Inter Milan's lead. According to the Italian media, the current coach Pioli may face a crisis of dismissal. TeleLombardia exclusively reported that AC Milan legend Ibe personally intervened to invite the 54-year-old Italian coach Dryland to take over, and Dryland showed initial interest and has agreed to coach AC Milan in the next season.
Although Pioli still has a one-year contract with the club, he is expected to say goodbye early this summer if the team fails to win all four matches this season. Meanwhile, AC Milan is actively looking for a new manager, and Gandhi has become the primary target. Ibrahim Mogwai has personally invited Dryland to join the team. It is reported that after the meeting between the two, Gandhi expressed satisfaction with the proposed conditions, including the possibility of signing five new players, including two defenders, one midfielder and two strikers.
Dryland has led Juventus to the Serie A title three times, and as Chelsea captain, he helped the team win the Premier League title. He also helped Inter Milan win the Serie A title in the 2020/21 season. As a "gold medal manager", Gandhi is undoubtedly the best candidate to take over the coaching position if AC Milan hopes to win the league title next season.
