CM: Pioli’s dismissal announcement imminent with severance agreement reached | OneFootball

Stefano Pioli’s dismissal from his role as AC Milan coach is expected to be made very soon after a severance deal was reached between the two parties.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, the announcement of Pioli’s departure could come any time between Thursday and the match against Salernitana on Saturday evening.

That is Milan’s final game of the season and by announcing it before the game, Pioli gets a chance to have a proper farewell in front of the fans at San Siro. Whilst much of the fanbase agrees that it is time for a new coach, there is no reason to think Pioli will not get a positive reception.

He has one year left on his contract that sees him earn €4m per season so the club needed to find a severance agreement with Pioli, which appears not to have been too difficult.

The press release could arrive on Friday, May 24, shortly before his press conference before the weekend’s clash.

Once the match has taken place, Pioli can look for a new job. He is one of the leading candidates for the Napoli job, whilst Bologna may also bring him back to replace Thiago Motta. Fenerbahce have also expressed interest.
