- As speculation swirls around Stefano Pioli’s future at AC Milan, reports suggest that Napoli is eyeing him for the upcoming season. According to Il Mattino (via TMW), Napoli sees Pioli as the ideal candidate to usher in a new era as they seek a permanent solution for their coaching vacancy.
While Antonio Conte was initially their top choice, his lack of response to their offer indicates he may be holding out for more enticing opportunities. Gian Piero Gasperini was also considered, but he seems committed to staying at Atalanta. Consequently, Pioli has emerged as Napoli’s primary target, with reliable sources indicating his departure from Milan is imminent.
Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis is reportedly awaiting confirmation of Pioli’s availability before presenting him with a contract offer. The proposed deal is said to be worth €3 million net per season until 2026, contingent upon Pioli reaching an agreement with Milan regarding his termination.
