CM: Why Napoli want Pioli instead of Conte as their next head coach | OneFootball

AC Milan and Stefano Pioli will part ways after this season, and the futures for both parties are unclear. However, a report has suggested that the 58-year-old could be on the move to another Italian heavyweight.

The managerial situation has become increasingly clearer as the game weeks have progressed. From the early stages, there was discontent with the ongoings, which only worsened with poor results and failures.

Nevertheless, Milan stuck to their word, and nothing has been officially announced, with a decision planned to be announced at the end of the season, even if everyone knows the inevitable. What is unknown, though, is the future of the club and Pioli.

The Rossoneri have been linked with several candidates, and whilst their list is gradually shortening, the pressure is growing, with the Curva Sud protesting this weekend to send a clear message.

For Pioli, though, things may not be as unclear. Whilst he has not decided on his future, he is not short of suitors, and this morning, Calciomercato.com have reported that Napoli could make a move for the soon-to-be unemployed manager.

The Neapolitan outfit had seemingly decided on Antonio Conte as their next manager, but the report suggests that Pioli is now a firm favourite for the job. Aurelio De Laurentiis appreciates the 58-year-old substantially, especially given his track record of holding a good relationship with senior members of clubs and lower contractual demands than other candidates.
