Potential change in Milan's coaching role could materialize during the upcoming summer season.
Italian Serie A: AC Milan's Potential Head Coach Change
Looks like the powers that be at Milan are mulling over a shake-up at the coaching helm when the current season wraps up. As per La Gazzetta dello Sport, they ain't quite ready to can Stefano Pioli, their current coach, despite the recent string of disappointing results. But a switch on the sidelines ain't out of the question by the summer.
The man tipped to take over, if the vacancy arises in June, is none other than Antonio Conte. Sourced from the same report, even though he's been jobless since ditching Tottenham Hotspur in March 2023, Conte isn't just keen on diving into a new team mid-season, and will only entertain serious chats with Milan in the summer.
Another potential replacement for Pioli is Ignazio Abate, the young bucks coaching the Milan youth team.
Let's face it, the latest 2:2 draw against Salernitana has only increased the distance between Milan and the leading duo - Inter and Juventus. With a dismal 11 points gap from the Nerazzurri and 7 points behind the Turin team, the Pioli-led team's playoff dreams for the UEFA Champions League are as good as gone, as they'll now toil in the UEFA Europa League instead.
Insight: The race for Milan's coach position is heating up, with a host of experienced contenders including Massimiliano Allegri, Maurizio Sarri, Vincenzo Italiano, and Roberto De Zerbi vying for the role. (Extra trivia: Recently, Cesc Fabregas' candidacy has taken a backseat.)
