REPORT: Milan is expected to appoint a manager from abroad to replace Pioli.

Stefano Pioli’s future at AC Milan is uncertain, and the club’s management has begun to explore for potential candidates for next season. According to a source, a potential new boss will most likely arrive from abroad.

The setback to Roma exposed Pioli’s tactical troubles in big games, and with Gerry Cardinale at San Siro, the impression was not favorable. The manager’s future remains uncertain, and a season-ending goodbye is probable.

According to Calciomercato.com, Julen Lopetegui’s candidacy has been validated on multiple fronts, with Milan praising his playing style and ability to work with young players. He isn’t the only one being watched, as the Rossoneri are also keeping an eye on other international contenders.

The interest in Lopetegui and the upcoming arrival of former LA Galaxy sports director Jovan Kirovski to work with the second squad are significant indicators. Indeed, Milan is a firm believer in bringing in an international professional to improve quality.

While there are other domestic choices, Juventus appear to be the front-runners for Thiago Motta. According to the source, the probable Pioli replacement will undoubtedly be more ‘exotic’.
