Gallery: ‘Lopetegui is close’, ‘Pioli farewell with a bonus’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

By Isak Möller -

In the last few days, Julen Lopetegui has been heavily linked with AC Milan as they look set to part ways with Stefano Pioli in the summer. The newspapers focused on the Rossoneri’s interest this morning, confirming that the links are concrete. 

Following the defeats against Roma, despite playing 11v10 for 60+ minutes in the second leg, Pioli is on thin ice and a departure appears inevitable. Naturally, the media has been naming potential candidates for the job and Lopetegui seems to be the favourite for now.

Today’s newspaper focused on Milan’s interest, confirming that the Spaniard is No.1 on their list, so let’s take a look at the front-page headlines.

The headlines

Gazzetta dello Sport

👀 “The race for the Milan bench: Lopetegui is in the lead. They also like Gallardo, but the list is long…”

🤝 “Pioli, farewell with a bonus as Napoli are interested.”

  1. Nopetegui.

    And again which recent foreign coach had any success with Seria A club both domestically and in european cups?

    That’s what you get when you let the club run by murican baseball mongers. Thought last summer was disaster, watch this one top it🤦

    1. Spare us you idiotic American racism. The owners haven’t hired anyone, yet. It’s the directors who decide who will be coach. The only thing the Americans do is sign the cheques. Having invested over €100 million and put down millions for a new stadium, that you’re complaining makes you a complete and utter cretin. You are an ingrate.

        1. Given my ethnicity, I certainly understand racism far better than you do. You slighted the owners while highlighting their nationality.

          1. I’m sorry that you feel triggered but it’s my opinion and you can either accept it or ignore it. Instead you opted to insult me. That says a lot about you and your insecurities. Which I frankly don’t care about.

          2. Its not about ethnicity. American is a mixed ethnicity. Many times, people call out americans for their culture and their mindset, which is bloodsucking capitalism and many times, being total ignorant about the world and knuckleheads. Pointing out at a mindset or a culture isnt racist because a mentality is not a race. Every nation has a particular mentality because every nation has a different culture. America’s just happens to be the one that is doing the most damage in the world today.

      1. Chèques of 100me😂🤣🤣, your Morron Gerry sold our best midfielder and only Italian talent we had for 80 millions, whose are the arrivals??? A bunch of fodder like him came out of his silly Moneyball, slap against Intermilan, losing 5 games in a row, a record never been broken before his takeover.d

        The dumb directors who will choose our new useless coach, had been chosen by your Gerry Cardinale who made jokes about our second position
