New Italy technical director Paolo Maldini has revealed talks with Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti to take over the vacancy at the Azzurri. Italy legend Paolo Maldini has stepped into a pivotal leadership role overseeing the search for the Azzurri’s next head coach, spearheading a comprehensive overhaul aimed at the 2030 World Cup. Amid a swirling list of potential managerial targets, the newly appointed technical director revealed that the federation has held preliminary discussions with current Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti to fill the high-profile vacancy on the bench. On July 23, Serie A convened an assembly on Via Rosellini alongside top executives from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), including newly elected president Giovanni Malago, technical director and Club Italia chief Paolo Maldini, and special advisor Leonardo. Securing a permanent manager for the national team dominated the agenda, with officials confirming that dialogue had also been opened with former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. When asked during a post-meeting press conference about pursuing the legendary Spanish manager, Maldini dropped a headline-grabbing revelation on the international stage: “Guardiola? We can’t share any news; you have identified one of our targets, but we have also spoken with Ancelotti. It felt right to start with the best in the world, but we need to verify their overall availability.“ While Maldini emphasized that these interactions were exploratory conversations rather than formal contract negotiations, the news still sent shockwaves across the footballing landscape. Ancelotti remains under contract with the Brazil Football Confederation (CBF) through June 2030, keeping him locked in as the figurehead for the Selecao‘s long-term sporting project.

Maldini offered further insight into how the federation is approaching its decision-making timeline. “The ideal scenario would be to appoint the national team manager by this week, but even more important is waiting for the person we truly want. There is an urgency, but deep down, not so much of one,” the former legendary defender detailed. Following Gennaro Gattuso’s departure in April after Italy failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup via the UEFA playoffs, Silvio Baldini was appointed as interim head coach of the senior squad. Baldini, who simultaneously manages Italy’s U-21 side, led the team through recent friendlies against Luxembourg and Greece and will remain in charge until a permanent appointment is finalized. Ancelotti represents a complex target for Italy After leaving Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti took charge of Brazil in May 2025, marking his first stint as a national team manager as he sought to restore tactical discipline to the five-time world champions. Ahead of the 2026 tournament, the CBF announced a contract extension through 2030, cementing the Italian tactician as the central pillar of their long-term international blueprint. Prising Ancelotti away from Brazil presents monumental logistical and financial hurdles for the FIGC. According to Globo Esporte, in addition to an annual salary of €770,000 (roughly $853,000), Ancelotti’s compensation structure includes a €5 million World Cup victory bonus, a private jet allowance, and luxury accommodations in Barra da Tijuca near Rio de Janeiro.
With fresh transfer speculation gathering pace, many supporters are now wondering whether the American star could be on the move before the new season begins. Christian Pulisic‘s future has suddenly become one of the biggest talking points of the summer following a frustrating 2026 World Cup campaign with the United States national team. With fresh transfer speculation gathering pace, many supporters are now wondering whether the American star could be on the move before the new season begins. The winger’s tournament was disrupted by injuries, and his difficult finish to the campaign has only intensified the debate surrounding his next step. Reports have now linked him with an unexpected destination, while Milan has reportedly made its position known amid growing interest from abroad. The World Cup began brightly for the 27-year-old, who produced an assist in the opening victory over Paraguay and looked poised to play a leading role for the United States. However, a calf injury forced him to miss the second group-stage match, interrupting his momentum at the worst possible time. He later returned as a substitute against Turkiye before starting the knockout victories over Bosnia and Herzegovina and the eventual defeat to Belgium. Even after returning to the lineup, Pulisic never appeared fully fit, and the tournament ended with reports of a hairline fracture in his leg, putting the start of Milan’s 2026-27 campaign in doubt.

Galatasaray makes contact over Pulisic According to Tuttomercatoweb, Galatasaray contacted Milan to explore the possibility of signing Christian Pulisic during the summer transfer window. The Turkish champion reportedly made an initial inquiry to determine whether negotiations could begin. It is said that Galatasaray has only gathered information about the player’s availability and has yet to submit a formal offer. The club is evaluating whether a future move could become possible if circumstances change later in the transfer window. The Istanbul side has been active in pursuing high-profile additions this summer, having also been linked with Milan forward Rafael Leao. Pulisic has emerged as another player admired by Galatasaray’s recruitment team. Rafael Leao of AC Milan interacts with Christian Pulisic That interest followed earlier speculation linking the American with Major League Soccer. New York City FC had also been credited with exploring a move for the forward, hoping to convince him to return to the United States. Milan’s response becomes clear The Italian club’s answer reportedly arrived quickly. Tuttomercatoweb, however, adds that Milan immediately rejected Galatasaray’s approach and made it clear that Pulisic is not available for transfer. The same response was reportedly given to New York City FC, underlining the club’s determination to retain one of its key attacking players. Despite the winger’s recent struggles, Milan continues to believe he can regain his best form under new head coach Ruben Amorim. Club owner Gerry Cardinale is also said to be firmly against a summer sale, viewing the United States international as an important figure in the club’s long-term plans. Amorim could play a key role as contract situation remains unresolved Although the Rossoneri’s stance appears firm, Pulisic’s contractual situation continues to attract attention. His current agreement runs until June 2027, while the Serie A giant also holds an option to extend it by another year. Renewal discussions have reportedly slowed in recent months, although the club remains optimistic that an extension can eventually be reached.

The expectation is that Ruben Amorim’s arrival could also play a significant role in convincing the American to continue his career at San Siro. One of Milan’s biggest reasons for optimism
