There continues to be more information filtering regarding what led to the breakdown in relations between Gerry Cardinale and Paolo Maldini.
According to what is being reported by Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) this morning, Maldini had a revolution in mind before he was sacked by Cardinale on Monday, specifically relating to the coaching department.
In addition to an improvement in the squad, the technical director had made it clear that he was not particularly satisfied with the work done by Stefano Pioli, and he was lining up a potential change.
The paper even stated that Maldini wanted to replace Pioli with his former team-mates Andrea Pirlo. Having been manager of Fatih Karagümrük in Turkey most recently, the former midfielder is currently without a club.
However, the information we have through our colleagues at SempreMilan.it is that this news seems to be wide of the mark.
In August 2019, Pirlo enrolled in the UEFA Pro Licence courses at Coverciano and then got a job with Juventus U23 before being appointed head coach of the first team. However, he was sacked after just one season with Inter beating them to the title.
