Moretto: Milan ‘extremely close’ to agreement with Krösche after Frankfurt departure

This evening, Matteo Moretto has confirmed that AC Milan are once again trying to hire Markus Krösche as their Head of Football. Throughout the summer – and even in the months since – Krösche’s name has never disappeared from the frame.

Milan have remained clear that they wanted to complete the management structure and although Krösche’s decision to stay with Frankfurt was a setback, he was never seen as an unreachable hire.

He’s still been seen as the number one candidate and it’s always seemed like a move in the latter months of 2026 was possible. Now, that seems even more the case, with Frankfurt officially confirming his departure this evening, by way of a mutual agreement, some of which can be read below.
