AC Milan's head coach, Stefano Pioli, is under the scope, according to some recent reports, especially after the latest disappointing draw against Salernitana away from home. But, if he were to be relieved of his duties, who will replace him at the end of the season?
Among the favorites for the 2024-2025 season, profiles like Thiago Motta from Bologna, Raffaele Palladino of Monza, Fiorentina's Vincenzo Italiano, and Nice's coach Francesco Farioli are certainly being considered.
According to what is told by SportMediaset, however, if Milan leans towards any of these options, they might encounter competition from Napoli.
Aurelio De Laurentiis' club also has its sights set on Motta, Palladino, Italiano, and Farioli.
Additionally, Milan is keen on hiring Roberto De Zerbi on the bench, but it's highly unlikely that the Brighton manager would leave the Premier League. If Milan were to pursue Raffaele Palladino and he simultaneously received an offer from Napoli, they could lose the race against them, as relayed by the Italy-based website Pianeta Milan.
"I am a son of Napoli, my heart is there," Palladino said yesterday, on the eve of Napoli-Monza, Some have interpreted this as a hint about his future.
Palladino's profile is much appreciated by Napoli and Milan and both clubs see him as someone who fits their strategy and philosophy. However, if the current Monza coach found himself at a crossroads, the answer, at least according to his heart, seems easy.
