In recent days, it was reported that Stefano Pioli accepted the lucrative offer from the Saudi club Al-Ittihad. The ex Milan coach, in fact, is ready to pack his bags and embark on his first overseas experience in his career after four and a half intense years on the Rossoneri bench.
Only the official announcement is awaited after the Arab club parted ways with Argentine coach Marcelo Gallardo, who did not meet expectations.
However, Stefano Pioli's contract signing is pending. According to Fabrizio Romano, Al-Ittihad is resolving some internal issues and has effectively put both the Italian coach and defender Arthur Theate on standby.
Theate was acquired from Rennes and has already undergone medical examinations in Paris in recent hours.
According to what was reported by Fabrizio Romano, Stefano Pioli and Arthur Theate are still waiting for final green light to sign all documents with Al Ittihad. There are still things ongoing internally. Theate completed medical in Paris but waiting for the club to approve and sign contracts; Pioli waiting since Wednesday.
