Carlo Pellegatti has confirmed that Markus Krösche is on his way to AC Milan, and believes he will take up an important double role.

It is no secret that Milan have pursued Krösche for some time. There was an initial attempt to poach him in the summer to work alongside Ruben Amorim, the head coach he reportedly approved of hiring. However, Eintracht Frankfurt put up a wall that proved too strong to break down.

After the summer window, the Bundesliga club confirmed that Krösche had left his position. The German director spoke about the desire to try something new, and sure enough the Milan rumours once again went into overdrive.

Based on what reliable sources are reporting, only the official announcement is missing with everything agreed. Carlo Pellegatti spoke in his column for MilanNews about what the hire should mean, for Amorim too.

“The arrival of Markus Krosche, a key figure in Eintracht Frankfurt’s recent successes, is expected towards the end of November,” the journalist began.

“There’s no doubt about his talent scouting skills and his ability to capitalise on his transfers, but we’d also like him to be the best person to support Amorim and the players, providing useful and necessary support during the most difficult times.

“We don’t know if this is one of his unique qualities, but we hope so, otherwise we’d fall into the same negative situations that have recently marked Milan’s path. The Portuguese coach especially needs it on the eve of the five months of truth.”
