Stefano Pioli has returned from his vacation and has begun working on how AC Milan could look next season. A lot will depend on the movement on the mercato and he could even change the Rossoneri’s formation.
The 4-2-3-1 formation has been the main one for Milan since Pioli joined the club, and the Rossoneri have had the most success with that one. However, the manager has also displayed flexibility before, such as Diaz on the right and Krunic as the No.10.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport (see photo below), Pioli could consider switching to a three-man midfield. Davide Frattesi, Milan’s main target for the defence, prefers to play in that type of formation and could thus spark the change.
Pioli would also prefer a physical attacking midfielder, such as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, but it’s more likely that Milan will sign Daichi Kamada. He could thus change the formation between games, depending on the opponents, but everything will be decided by the signings this summer.
With the hypothetical arrival of someone like SMS, it will be tough to switch from the 4-2-3-1 formation.
