AC Milan is reportedly pinning its hopes on Antonio Conte as the club’s manager ahead of the summer, as it appears that the current manager Stefano Pioli will likely part ways with the club.
The main hurdle in appointing Conte remains his salary demand, according to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. Despite the financial challenge, the move seems plausible as Conte is currently free and keen to make a return to Serie A. Furthermore, Milan boasts a squad with numerous players suited to Conte’s playing style.
The Milan management dreams of having Conte onboard to turn around the team’s performance as the Italian league’s summer season approaches. The possible departure of their current manager Stefano Pioli, which seems almost certain, sets the stage for Conte to step in, if his wage demand can be met.
