AC Milan are working on signing a new signing a new staff member to join Pioli's team of collaborators, specifically, for the goalkeeper coach position.
The name on the club's agenda is reportedly Tony Roberts, who had been at Wolverhampton and has left the English club due to negotiation with the Rossoneri, according to sources.
The Wolverhampton Wanderers have bid farewell to Tony Roberts and published an official statement which reads the following:
"Goalkeeper coach Tony Roberts has left Wolves to take up a new coaching role at a European club.
The Welshman moved to Molineux in the summer of 2021 as part of Bruno Lage’s backroom team and remained at the club as Julen Lopetegui and his staff arrived last season.
Primarily coaching Jose Sa and the first-team goalkeepers, Roberts has also left a legacy at Compton Park for expanding the goalkeeper department throughout the club.
Last December, the 53-year-old was instrumental in bringing in a trio of goalkeeping coaches in Scott Bevan, Jon Flatt and Phil Smart to work with goalkeepers at all levels of the academy, creating a blueprint for each age group.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “Tony will certainly be missed, but it’s an unbelievable opportunity that he has received so we’d never stand in his way. He’s been up front and honest about the contact has had, and it’s a great chance for him and he goes with our full support.
“Tony’s built the best goalkeeping department we’ve ever had at the club, in terms of the coaching available to the boys. We’ve done a lot of recruitment in the academy through Harry [Hooman] and his team. The best thing I can say about Tony is what he’s leaving behind and the work he’s put in should make this change relatively seamless. Of course, Julen is disappointed, but understands why Tony wants to take the opportunity.”
