Roberto De Zerbi will be in high demand in the summer and is likely to be hired by a top Premier League side, but Milan might be able to interfere with such a scenario. The coach recently admitted that the Rossoneri are special to him.
According to Sportitalia’s Michele Criscitiello, the gaffer will probably land in one of the elite English clubs. Jurgen Klopp announced he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season, and Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta could do the same.
In addition, De Zerbi is drawing interest from Spain, likely Barcelona, as Xavi stated he would step down as well. Despite the high-profile suitors, he hasn’t discarded a potential return to Serie A. Several coaches in the upper echelon have contracts that run out in 2025, forcing their sides to make the call in the upcoming summer. That’s the case also for Stefano Pioli.
The gaffer is a Rossonero fan and would like to coach them after failing to reach them while he was a footballer. He was born in nearby Brescia.
Our Take on Milan and De Zerbi
Considering his playing style, he’d be a great fit for them, probably even better than Antonio Conte. He’d be one of the few who would make it understandable to move on from Pioli. His wages aren’t an issue, but his €11M release clause is. Foreign teams are a lot more willing than Serie A ones to buy out bosses.
