Arsène Wenger is close to replacing Gennaro Gattuso at AC Milan, according to France Football.
Wenger has been out of work since the end of last season, when he left Arsenal after 22 years in charge.
The Frenchman has, though, insisted he will not retire and is eyeing a return to management.
In a recent interview he revealed that he expects to return to work in early 2019, and he’s been linked with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Fenerbahce and the Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande.
According to France Football though, he has in fact been in negotiations with Milan for several weeks.
Negotiations are said to be close to conclusion, with Wenger ready to replace Gennaro Gattuso as Rossoneri Coach.
Milan are currently fourth in Serie A and have won five of their last six league games after a slow start to the season.
However, Gattuso’s job remains in a precarious position after the club’s slow start to the campaign.
Milan have recently appointed Ivan Gazidis, who previously worked closely with Wenger as Arsenal’s chief executive.
According to the report, Wenger would also work closely with Leonardo, the club’s sporting director.
Milan’s next Serie A game is against Juventus on Sunday.
