Stefano Pioli’s future has been decided, and his future seems to be identified as well. However, AC Milan have not identified their next move, and whilst suspicions exist about what the next steps for the club might be, nothing is known yet.
As it stands, Milan have to recruit without a name for players to play under, given there have been no concrete movements for any managers. Figures and meetings have been reported, but the club have no official manager going into next season, given Pioli still has not been officially sacked.
Julen Lopetegui’s near-appointment served as a harsh reminder to the management of the power of football fans, and the reaction to their favoured choice was no. However, to Sergio Conceicao, who looks likely to be appointed, the reaction has been much more welcoming.
Di Stefano spoke to Sky Sports about the current situation regarding Milan’s head coach selections, and his words have been relayed by Radio Rossonera.
Head-to-head Fonseca-Conceicao, no one favourite…
“The choice of the new coach, the pillar of the new Milan, will be pondered over the next few weeks. There are two known names, Fonseca and Conceicao; at the moment there is no favourite. Not a plan A or a plan B. Milan are trying to understand which is the best solution, also concerning the commitments they have with their respective clubs, namely Lille and Porto.”
