While formal talks have yet to commence, Milan is considering extending a new contract offer to coach Stefano Pioli during the upcoming summer period amidst increasing doubts regarding the suitability of Antonio Conte.
During a certain phase of the current season, Pioli appeared poised to depart from the Rossoneri as their performance declined, coupled with their struggle in the Champions League, leading to significant frustration among fans preceding the Christmas hiatus. Various alternatives were proposed, including Conte, Thiago Motta, and Roberto De Zerbi.
However, in the latter part of the season, Milan has experienced a resurgence under Pioli’s leadership, emerging as one of the most formidable teams in the league and securing a comfortable second-place position in the standings. Consequently, the club has initiated preliminary plans for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Pioli future
According to a report by Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Milan has yet to reach a final determination regarding the status of coach Pioli, but is considering extending a new contract offer to him. Owner Gerry Cardinale intends to gather all pertinent analyses and recommendations at the conclusion of the season prior to making a decision on the appropriate course of action.
The Rossoneri remain attentive to the developments surrounding Thiago Motta’s tenure at Bologna; however, there are indications that the coach has preliminarily agreed to terms with Juventus for the upcoming summer. The likelihood of Antonio Conte’s appointment is diminishing, as concerns mount within the club regarding his transfer strategy and long-term planning.
