According to Fabrizio Romano, Stefano Pioli is one of the three candidates to become the new manager of Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, following Marcelo Gallardo’s departure.
After his exit from Milan, the Italian coach might continue his career in the lucrative Saudi league.
“Stefano Pioli is one of the top names on Al-Ittihad’s shortlist,” Fabrizio Romano reported on his social media channels.
This potential move marks a significant shift for Pioli as he contemplates his next steps following his tenure at Milan.
Al-Ittihad’s search for a new manager has intensified, and they are keen to bring in a coach with international experience.
Pioli’s experience and adaptability could make him an attractive option for Al-Ittihad as they aim to bolster their squad.
Furthermore, with the financial incentives on offer in Saudi Arabia, this opportunity could be a compelling one for Pioli.
