CHINESE INVESTORS WANT EMERY

Chinese Investors are reportedly keen on acquiring the head coach of Sevilla Unai Emery for AC Milan. The tactician led the Spanish side to a third straight Europa League triumph against English side, Liverpool last week.

As the Chinese Consortium complete their take-over of the Italian giants, they want Emery due to his impressive record in Europe.

The major problem would that the club president, Silvio Berlusconi wants current coach Cristian Brocchi to continue as he is yet to prove his credentials since taking over from Sinisa Mihajlovic.

The future of interim boss Cristian Brocchi remains in question, with the former Privamera boss having failed to steer Milan into the European spots in Serie A before losing the Coppa Italia final 1-0 to Juventus on Saturday. The latest StanJames betting odds make him te favourite to be in the post come August 2016.

Mihajlovic was sacked in April this year but the former Rossoneri head coach's deal will conclude on June 30, freeing him to move to another club. The club reached an agreement with him to terminate his contract at the end of next month. The former defender was appointed as head coach on a two-year deal last June but was sacked in April after failing to sustain a challenge for the Champions League places.

Mihajlovic is reported to have met with Milan CEO Adriano Galliani in Rome last week to negotiate the finer details of his contract termination, and the club announced on Monday that a deal had been struck to end his deal a year early.

The club in a statement released read:
"AC Milan will terminate Sinisa Mihajlovic's contract with the club from 30/06/2016. Everybody involved at AC Milan wishes him the best for his future."

Mihajlovic is tipped to take over at Torino, with Giampiero Ventura rumoured to be the favourite to succeed Antonio Conte as Italy head coach.
