The official confirmation of the second place in the standings effectively closed Milan's season two matchdays ahead.
Now there are no more objectives, just waiting for the end of the season and planning for the next year.
The management, which has been working on the name of the next coach for some time, will meet Pioli in the coming days to end their relationship and then announce the new coach.
In this regard, just last night Antonio Conte's assistant sent clear messages to Milan. Essentially, Stellini stated that Milan could be a project suitable for Conte. They have no exclusions towards any club. "He really wants to come back (to Italy)." The former coach of Juve and Inter would gladly coach the Rossoneri.
Furthermore, he explained that in this year off, the coach from Apulia has updated himself, worked to be more unpredictable in the game, and will bring tactical innovations. He emphasises that it's a misconception when talking about Conte demanding a massive transfer campaign. "Milan is a strong team, second in the standings. Of course, there is a gap with Inter to be filled, and in Conte's history, these gaps have been filled."
Until today, however, Conte has not had direct and official contacts with Milan. Stellini's dialogue with Telelombardia seemed to be sending clear messages, and especially that Conte is still looking for his next destination.
As concluded by Milan News, however, it's unlikely that Conte will be the next Milan coach.
