Previously, the media reported that Pioli, who was beaten by Inter Milan six times in a row in the derby, has been confirmed to be out of class at the end of the season, and Milan has started the work of inspecting the new coach. According to journalist Marco Conterio, the Milan owners will hand over the decision on the club's sports program to Ibrahimovic. This means Ibrahimovic will play a big role in Milan's new boss and this summer's signings. It is understood that Ibrahimovic once again stressed to the management that he is inclined to hire Antonio Conte as the new manager of Milan.
The 54-year-old has been at home since leaving Tottenham in March. As a manager, Conte has led Juventus and Inter Milan to four Serie A titles, and led LinkedIn Chelsea to the Premier League. He is a five-time coach in world football. After being sacked by Tottenham, Conte has repeatedly expressed his willingness to return to Serie A as a coach, and Conte has been rumored to be in charge of clubs such as Milan, Napoli, Bayern and other clubs. According to a previous report by Roma Sport, Napoli boss De Laurentiis is willing to offer Conte a contract with an annual salary of 8 million euros, but Conte wants a 10 million euro contract. In addition to the annual salary problem, Napoli owner De Laurentiis is a president who likes to intervene in the affairs of the team, which may lead to a conflict between him and the strong personality of Conte, so an analysis believes that Conte is unlikely to eventually take over Napoli, and Bayern seems to be in a hot game with former Manchester United manager Rangnick at the moment, which makes Milan see hope of inviting Conte to coach.
In terms of recruitment, according to the latest news provided by Fabrizio Romano, Milan's main center Olivier Giroud has reached a comprehensive agreement with major league team Los Angeles FC, and he will leave the team for free at the end of this season. Milan need to find a centre-forward in the transfer market to fill the void left by Olivier Giroud. Personally, I think that if Conte takes over Milan, he is likely to buy Belgian centre-forward Romelu Lukaku from his old club Chelsea as a replacement for Giroud. Romelu Lukaku and Antonio Conte had a rather enjoyable experience working together at Inter Milan, and in Conte's tactical system, Lukaku rejuvenated the second spring of his career and became a top centre-forward in Serie A. After signing Inter Milan last summer, he joined Roma under the recruitment of Portuguese madman Jose Mourinho and became the absolute core of the Red Wolves' dedication.
Given Roma's dire financial situation, it is likely that they will not be able to pay the €40 million buyout fee offered by the Blues to formally sign Romelu Lukaku. After Conte takes over the Milan coach, it will increase the possibility of Lukaku joining Milan, and the Rossoneri are likely to recruit Inter Milan to recruit Lukaku, so that Lukaku and Conte will join forces again against their old club Inter Milan.
