AC Milan may not have played likable football during Stefano Pioli’s tenure so far, but the fact that after years of suffering, wandering and aimlessly spending millions on reinforcements of dubious quality, they managed to return the club to the top of Italian football still carries some weight.Great credit for that goes to Paolo Maldini, who raised his voice as a captain and put an end to crazy deals and purchases without a real idea. That is why it is not surprising that Pioli’s chair in AC Milan has been shaking since the former ace left the club, and although he is currently second in the Serie A table with a six-point advantage over Juventus, nothing guarantees that the Italian will remain in the same position next fall.##NAJAVA_MECA_8021307##There was already speculation across the ‘Boot’ about the possible arrival of Antonio Conte in the past period, and now there are indications that Maurizio Sarri is also in the mix. The story is a bit far-fetched, but it shouldn’t be automatically ruled out.The renowned Russian site Championship published news based on the guest appearance of a local journalist in a podcast of their production, which says the following – Spartak Moscow called Sarri and offered him a job, which he refused with the explanation that he was taking over Milan in the summer?Now, all this is in the realm of ‘hearsay’, but in Italy there is a lot of speculation about it now. Since Sarri is free after leaving Lazio, he has the ability to choose his next engagement, and for that reason, the Rossoneri’s interest would not be strange because Pioli is on thin ice. There aren’t that many quality coaches on the Boot ready to tackle the challenge of leading such a big club where ambitions are always the highest, and if Conte scenario does not realize, then Sarri is definitely the next best option.Russian outlet @championat claims that Spartak Moscow contacted Maurizio Sarri to offer him the first team’s coaching job, however Sarri informed the Russian club that he is not interested as he will take over Milan in the summer! pic.twitter.com/hS97uLgRIp— Milan Eye (@MilanEye) April 10, 2024 Everything still depends on how Milan’s story with Pioli will end. He is still neither here or there, because even though Milan sit second, they lags far behind Inter and there are no massive results after winning the title two years ago. Winning the Europa League, in which they are pushing well, would essentially save him from a premature farewell. They reached the quarter-finals in which they play Roma, and the first match will be played at San Siro already on Thursday at 10.00 PM EAT.If no results come from there either, the split would be the most realistic. Then we will see if the information that has arrived from Russia was reliable.
