Cristian Brocchi will be promoted at AC Milan should Carlo Ancelotti succeed Pippo Inzaghi as head coach.
Milan chief Adriano Galliani is in Spain today and expected to meet with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez about Ancelotti's availability.
Gazzetta dello Sport says should Ancelotti accept a return, Brocchi would join his coaching staff.
The Primavera coach has impressed Milan directors this season and would act as a liaison between Ancelotti and the club's young players.
Ancelotti will lose one of his closest coaches this summer, with Paul Clement due to leave Real for Derby County.
