AC Milan are extensively reviewing different managerial targets as we get closer to the end of the season, and a move for one of the primary targets for the role has just changed in their favour.
Even though there are suggestions about Stefano Pioli remaining with Milan past the end of this season, a decision has not yet been made. Links to Antonio Conte remain strong, but should the Rossoneri prefer Thiago Motta, a route to him may have been made much easier.
The Bologna coach has had an incredible impact on the Rossoblu this season, and whilst the club have undergone a rough period in recent weeks, there is a lot of admiration held by important figures about his qualities.
Links to him have been difficult to avoid, given his contract expires at the end of the 2023-24 season. His agent, Dario Canovi, spoke to Kiss Kiss Napoli about where Motta’s future may lie, and his words have been relaid by Calciomercato.com.
Will Motta be Napoli’s manager?
“Thiago Motta does not yet know his future, but it certainly won’t be at Napoli. The Bologna coach would not come to Napoli even if De Laurentiis bought him Zirkzee and Calafiori, he has other plans for his future.”
Hope Moncada is taking notes “Zrikzee and Calafiori”. Throw Ferguson in as well and he’s ours.
I don’t know why anyone would want to coach Napoli given ADL’s antics.
Some people love money too much to reject him.
