It seems that the Rossoneri will pluck a trio from their own ranks should 'Carletto' depart this summer...
With Carlo Ancelotti edging towards Chelsea, many names are being drawn out of the hat for the coveted Milan bench.
However, the latest indications coming from Italy are that there will be more than one name succeeding Ancelotti.
According to Sportmediaset.it, vice-president Adriano Galliani seems to favour a triad solution to lead the Rossoneri from next season, even though he is keeping his lips sealed until Monday, by which point he expects the team to have secured direct qualification to the Champions League.
Galliani's preferred solution is an internal one, with Leonardo, Mauro Tassotti and Filippo Galli heading the team next season.
This choice would be taken because Leonardo does not have the license to coach in Serie A as of yet. Thus, although the Brazilian would be the main tactician, Tassotti and Galli would share the title of head coach as they possess the necessary badges.
This would prove that Galliani stated the truth when he declared that he had not contacted any possible new coach, as the solution he has opted for is an internal one which would reflect the wishes of president Silvio Berlusconi.

Tavano Will Return To Valencia
Italian striker Francesco Tavano will return to Valencia after a 6-month stint at AS Roma.
Former Empoli forward Francesco Tavano moved to AS Roma on a loan-deal from Valencia and, despite the positive expectations, has failed to shine, hindered once again, by lack of opportunities.
AS Roma will not spend 10 million euros and take over the ownership of the player, who is now packing his bags and preparing to return to Spain.
However, Tavano seems unlikely to continue serving Valencia, and several Italian clubs such as Palermo, Udinese and Livorno, have shown interest in signing Tavano.
They have already contacted the player’s agent with a view towards beginning transfer negotiations with Valencia.
There is a particularly strong demand from Palermo for netting a new forward, as Di Michele is about to receive a harsh ban for his involvement in football betting. The Rosaneri consider Tavano as a perfect replacement.
Of course, the struggle for power at the Mestalla will play a part, with Carboni keen to keep him; Flores not so much!

Juve Agree Iaquinta Deal
Juventus have reached an agreement to sign Vincenzo Iaquinta from Udinese, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The paper claims that the player will sign a five-year contract and that the deal will cost Juve £5.7 million, plus the co-ownership of Michele Paolucci, currently on loan at Ascoli.
Iaquinta’s contract at Udinese expires in 2010, but he nonetheless looks to be leaving The Friuli.
Juve boss Didier Deschamps has apparently accepted the transfer of the player who has scored 14 Serie A goals this season.
The Bianconeri have already sealed the transfers of Zdenek Grygera (Ajax), Hasan Salihamidzic (Bayern Munich) and Domenico Criscito (Genoa).
The club has also been linked with Mohamed Sissoko of Liverpool and AS Roma’s Philippe Mexes.

Robben Plans Chelsea Stay
Chelsea winger Arjen Robben has responded to reports linking him to Bayern Munich by stating his intention to remain at the club.
The Dutchman’s season has been spoiled by injury, while there are also reports that his relationship with manager Jose Mourinho has been strained.
Rumours on Sunday suggested that Bayern could use the money from selling Owen Hargreaves to Manchester United in a bid to sign Robben.
But Robben told The Sun: "I was very happy with the manager's comments that he values me and it proves I just want to do my best for the team.
"You work your socks off to make a contribution and, when he says good things, it's nice to be here.
"I've always said I wanted to stay, so we will see. I will be here next season, that's for sure.
"I know for myself what I can do, but I need to get into my rhythm.
"I've got a big break now - six-and-a-half weeks off - so I'll come back fresh. I want to show again what I did in my first season.
"It feels magnificent to win the FA Cup. Mourinho gave me a big hug at the end. It feels very good."

Zambrotta Close To Milan Move?
The Italian winger was seen in Milan on Wednesday where he stayed for an entire day, thus sparking the rumours that the Rossoneri are on the verge of signing him.
Gianluca Zambrotta's first year with Barcelona has been far from impressive, as the Italian world cup winning midfielder failed to show all the good things done over the years with the Azzurri and Juventus, and found it more difficult than expected to acclimate himself with the Catalan club.
The transfer speculation is that Zambrotta now wants to return to Italy at the end of the season and apparently Milan are on top of his list.
The former Juve player has made it no secret that he does not want to go back to the Bianconeri, where he is considered as a traitor there for abandoning ship soon after the Calciopoli scandal erupted.
Zambrotta also admitted in the past that his favourite team has always been Milan since he was a kid, so his day spent in Milan was a further confirmation that something is boiling.
For the time being both sides are not saying anything, but there were no denials, therefore the 30-year-old winger could soon make a return to the Italy.

New Nani Deal Increases Buy-Out Clause
Manchester United will have to rethink their plan to approach Sporting Lisbon about Nani and Atlético de Madrid have been priced out of the market after the player penned a new contract with the Portuguese club.
Weeks of speculation have surrounded the gifted 20-year-old with both the Red Devils and los Colchoneros said to be monitoring his situation as the end of the season approached.
Sporting have moved quickly to ensure that they do not lose out on their prodigy and have thrashed out a new deal that will see his basic salary and bonuses increase.
More importantly, however, is the fact the player, has seen his buy-out clause rise to €30m.
That figure has ensured that Atlético are no longer in the running and may deter Manchester United into making a concrete approach this summer.
The new deal signed by Nani is a six-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2013, unless one of the continent's most affluent club's matches his buy-out clause.
United were reported to be close to finalising a deal earlier this month for around €25m, but will have to raise their offer to clinch any deal.
Nani has made no secret that he would fancy teaming up again with Cristiano Ronaldo, who also came through the Sporting youth system.
Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to capture the left-winger as he views him as the successor to Ryan Giggs in the Red Devils' side.
