Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez could be set for a shock return to management with AC Milan, according to reports in Italy.

AC Milan planning shock swoop for former Liverpool boss

After losing their Serie A crown to Juventus in May, Milan have endured a turbulent start to this season – they’ve lost two of their three opening games in Serie A and began their Champions League campaign with a disappointing draw at home to Anderlecht on Tuesday night.

Unsurprisingly, speculation over the future of manager Massimiliano Allegri is already starting to intensify, and Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is thought to be keen on Benitez, who has been out of work since leaving Milan’s rivals Inter in December 2010.

Despite Benitez’s mixed spell at Inter – he landed two trophies, but won just six of his 15 league games in charge – Galliani was impressed by the Spaniard’s work at Liverpool, where he won the Champions League, the FA Cup and guided the Merseyside club to their strongest title challenge in nearly 20 years.

Allegri’s job is believed to be safe for now, but should results worsen over the next two weeks, Galliani could look to bring Benitez back to Italy.
