AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale dreams of being able to hire Antonio Conte as the next head coach, according to one journalist.
La Repubblica reported earlier this month that while the club’s official stance continues to be one of supporting Pioli and making it clear he still has the faith of the management, he has still ended up in the crosshairs of critics after a bad start to 2023.
The paper stated that Conte of Spurs and Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton and Hove Albion are attractive profiles if Pioli were to be sacked between now and the start of next season, even though the former earns €17m net per season.
Enrico De Lellis of La Repubblica spoke during an interview with TV Play and he dropped a bombshell regarding the future of Stefano Pioli and Cardinale’s possible play for a successor, with his comments relayed by MilanZone.
“It’s true Pioli is the coach, but it is equally true that Cardinale’s dream is Antonio Conte, everyone knows it. That’s not to say Cardinals will make an offer and Conte will accept it, but it is a name that Milan has had in mind for some time and Conte wants to return,” he said.
