Stefano Pioli could land on his feet if Milan fired him, as Napoli would be ready to welcome him. The boss would have to settle his contractual situation at first, though. He’s tied to the Rossoneri for another year. The Azzurri don’t want to negotiate with other teams. Therefore, they’d table their offer only if he got released, Il Mattino informs.
In that event, the Partenopei would tender a two-year year with €3M wages, the same as Luciano Spalletti. He has made €1M morr annually in recent campaigns. He has jumped ahead of other candidates. Aurelio De Laurentiis is getting tired of Antonio Conte’s waiting, and Gian Piero Gasperini is likely to stay at Atalanta.
Milan seem to have made up their mind about Pioli regardless of whether he goes to Napoli or not. They have added new names to their shortlist: Nice’s Francesco Farioli, Corriere della Sera relays, and RB Leipzig’s Marco Rose, who interests the Azzurri as well, Il Mattino informs (via SportdelSud).
In other coaching news, Massimiliano Allegri will force Juventus into a tough economic decision, TuttoSport informs. He’s unlikely to give up the final year of his contract should the team sack him. The checque amounts to €20M considering his staff.
Our Take on Napoli and Pioli
It wouldn’t be the worst choice given his demeanor and versatility. He might be one of the few who would bear with De Laurentiis’ antics. On the other hand, the Partenopei, and not Milan, should go after brilliant young coaches.
