Milan: between Stefano Pioli and Antonio Conte, there is a clear favorite
Milan: between Stefano Pioli and Antonio Conte there'è a clear favorite
Milan will take until the end of the season before deciding on the next coach. The Rossoneri have taken off in the last few months after winter difficulties, outpaced Juventus and are now assured of playing in the Champions League again next season.
Stefano Pioli's odds are clearly on the rise, although regrets remain over the Scudetto race ended too soon and an early exit from the Champions League. The Emilian coach has recompacted the group that follows him faithfully, and a good outcome of the Europa League race, a final or a fortiori a victory, should also armor his bench for next season.
But Milan is currently stalling, reports calciomercato.com. Negotiations for Pioli’s contract renewal have not yet started: Cardinale wants to see it through and at the end of the season will consult all managers before choosing how to move.
Certainly Pioli è clearly favored over Antonio Conte, both for economic reasons (the coach from Lecce has high salary demands, both for him and for his staff) and for planning reasons (the ownershipà wants more sharing in the choice of market goals and programming).
