Stefano Pioli’s chances of coaching AC Milan next season are only growing and a move for Antonio Conte to replace him looks less and less likely.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Pioli has revived Milan’s season with a wonderful start to 2024 that has seen the Rossoneri win 14 of 19 games across Serie A, the Europa League and the Coppa Italia.
Two months ago, it looked increasingly likely that Pioli would depart at the end of the season with various coaches being linked with his job amid underwhelming form.
The fact that the slight upturn early in the year has now become the norm for the Rossoneri means that he is in a position of strength.
There are no talks underway to extend his contract, which runs out in 2025, but he certainly does not seem set for a dismissal at the end of this season.
An analysis is expected to be made involving Gerry Cardinale, Giorgio Furlani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio at the end of the season to decide what the next steps are for the coach.
In the meantime, Conte’s chances of getting a job offer are falling given he would likely not show any interest in the project planning.
