“Milan have chosen”, a name in pole position for the bench: Napoli rejoices

Milan will not continue with Pioli, the Rossoneri currently seem to be the most reliable rival in the transfer market for Conte.

Antonio Conte yesterday he was given as very close to Napoli. The former Inter and Juventus coach, according to various insiders, is gradually giving in to the unbridled court of the Neapolitans. In particular, Aurelio De Laurentiisa long-time friend of the Apulian coach, would never let go, trying in every way to convince Conte to accept his proposal.

In recent months, however, there seemed to be many rivals, perhaps too many and difficult to counter: Bayern Munich, Liverpool, PSG or Juventus themselves. Among these also the Milanwho first had to unravel the issue relating to Stefano Pioli.

Milan, decisive acceleration for the bench: does everything change for Conte?

The former Lazio and Bologna coach will not continue his relationship with the Rossoneri. The last two championships were decisive in which his Milan never had the continuity to compete for the scudetto, first with Napoli, then with Inter. Finally, the European journey, with the disappointing exit in the Europa League coming at the hands of Daniele De Rossi’s Roma in a double header without too many fuss.

From that moment, the prices to see Conte at Milan have rapidly increased, at least until the last few days. La Gazzetta dello Sporta sports newspaper close to Milanese circles, has in fact made known an indiscretion that would totally change the transfer market scenario: the Rossoneri would be very close to the former Spanish coach of Real Madrid Lopetegui. The Spaniard, who has been out of action since 2023 after his experience at Wolverhampton in the Premier League, would be ready to get back on track and among the many proposals he would have accepted that of Milan.

Gerry Cardinale would have moved according to the rosy in person for Lopetegui, a name appreciated by Moncada himself and the rest of the management. The Spaniard, who put AC Milan on top, preferring the Rossoneri to West Ham who had offered him a richer contract, would be the right man according to the Rossoneri owners thanks to his high-level CV, having coached clubs like Real Madrid, Sevilla and the Spanish national team itself. A clear choice, which could be realized in the next few weeks and which would cut Conte out, in short, a further confirmation for the Apulian coach’s move to blue? We’ll see, it looks like they will be hot days and weeks.
