In the Serie A standings, AC Milan are first with Napoli after 11 matches. The Rossoneri club has collected so far 31 points after a very good start of the season.
The next game for the red and black faithful is against their 'cousins' from across the city. Stefano Pioli is trying to find the best tactical solutions to establish dominance.
The management of Il Diavolo club is confident and has faith in the team ahead of the derby because they know that the coach is able to bring the best out of his players.
For this reason, a contract renewal will soon be exercised for the former Fiorentina boss.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's print edition, Pioli is close to the contract renewal as he will be rewarded with a better salary. Currently, he earns around 2 million euros net per season plus half a million in bonuses.
For the record, Luciano Spalletti of Napoli earns a salary of 4 million euros, same as Simone Inzaghi of Inter while Juventus' tactician Massimiliano Allegri is receiving a yearly wage of 8 million euros net per season.
