Former Netherlands coach Marco van Basten has discussed
the possibility of taking over at AC Milan, the club's assistant
manager Filippo Galli was quoted as saying on Monday.
Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has said his future will be decided
next weekend amid constant speculation that he will leave to join
Chelsea.
Van Basten, one of Milan's most famous former players, quit as
Ajax manager earlier this month saying he was "not good enough" for
the job.
He was in Italy for a golf tournament on Sunday and held dinner
with some friends, including Galli.
"Something was said about the possibility of him coaching Milan.
But we mainly talked about his experience at Ajax," Galli was
quoted as saying by various Italian media.
"From what he said, up to last night the club have not contacted
him. I don't know what will happen with Ancelotti, it is difficult
to say."
Media reports have said Milan director Leonardo, who is taking
his coaching badges, Cagliari boss Massimiliano Allegri and former
Barcelona coach and Milan player Frank Rijkaard are also in the
running for the San Siro job should Ancelotti leave.
