Ibrahimovic is reportedly trying to reach an agreement, although the management would prefer another profile if the story with Pioli were to come to an end.
The rumors about Antonio Conte becoming the next coach of AC Milan are becoming increasingly persistent. Despite interest from Napoli, the coach from Puglia seems to have made his decision: for the upcoming season, he would like to take charge of the Rossoneri bench. The coach who led them to their last Serie A title appears to be on the verge of parting ways, and these could indeed be his last campaign at the helm of the Devil.
The arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, even as a consultant for RedBird and not an internal club executive, has been a turning point. It is, in fact, the former striker himself who wants Conte as the next Milan coach and is negotiating the terms of the contract with the highly decorated manager. Putting all the pieces in place, from contracts to the coaching staff, ambitions, and squad, won’t be easy, but efforts are being made.
Choosing Conte would also please the most ambitious fans, even though the current management would prefer to go for a less renowned and younger coach, such as Thiago Motta, to potentially close the Pioli era and start afresh. As for the team, Conte will have a say in deciding who stays and who will have to leave Milanello. But there’s still time for that.”
