There is a real possibility that Stefano Pioli might have already been out of a job by now had one of two other head coaches been available, according to a report.
According to this morning’s edition of La Repubblica (via MilanNews), the confidence in Pioli being the long-term coach of Milan seems to have evaporated and the club’s leaders are evaluating the strategy for the future.
Currently only Ignazio Abate could replace him and those in charge do not consider the Primavera boss to be ready at the moment, so any idea of him being a caretaker manager can be excluded for the time being.
The Rossoneri had thought about Christophe Galtier and Marcelo Gallardo as potential options, but the former then joined Al-Duhail in Qatar and the latter went to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, complicating the plans of the club, which found itself almost forced to retain Pioli.
What about the future? Well, the paper are also reporting that Pioli is still under scrutiny and the next three games will be crucial in determining how long he lasts, but from next season the hierarchy want either Antonio Conte – strongly sponsored by Zlatan Ibrahimovic – or Roberto De Zerbi.
Conte with $70m budget for the summer. Funny people.
$70M only if a major sale (MM16 or Theo). Otherwise it’s probably the “good old 40M”. Even less if Pioli stays until the summer and Milan miss the UCL-train.
Marcelo Gallardo? What are these people smoking😂😂😂
Galtier with his racism problems is a lot stranger. Probably just BS, both of them.
LOL, true
I will take Pioli over him.
Why? Gallardo is potentially a top class coach and plays a modern high energy brand of football. When he left River he was a free agent hadn’t agreed the Saudi contract yet
Maybe im wrong but, i think he would have been an interesting development, I much prefer him to Conte who, like Mourinho, is living off his past reputation.
Then listen the coach that can make Acmilan a deadly team to destroy teams both in Europe and league is
1. Julian negelsman
2.Hans flick
3.julen lopetugui
4. Motta of Bologna
5. Christopher Gaiter
Any other coach can not impact Acmilan
I agree with Nagelsman but Zlatan hates him. If you ask me, sell Milan to the Arabs, get rid of Zlatan and all others and get Nagelsman with some good players.
