Milan have made many changes to the squad and more are expected still, meaning Pioli will have to evaluate the player material. The 4-2-3-1 formation was his favourite this past season but he might switch to the 4-3-3, as per Gazzetta Dello Sport (see below).
Brahim Diaz has left and Charles De Ketelaere could also depart, but Milan are still focused on signing a right-winger after Christian Pulisic (who can play on both flanks). Therefore, Pioli could switch to the 4-3-3 for the upcoming season.
A lot will depend on the final signings on the market and also the pre-season performances. However, it’s clear that Pioli is heading into the new season with an open mind and willingness to select the best formation for the squad.
