Coach, sales and signings – Milan have ‘one month to decide everything’

AC Milan face a very intense month ahead away from the pitch with decisions to be made on the coach, players to sign in the summer, and who could be let go to raise money. 

As reported by Corriere della Sera (via Radio Rossonera), it will be a month of change at Casa Milan that will certainly bleed into the rest of the summer.

The most important decision to make is on the coach, with Stefano Pioli expected to be dismissed come the end of the season after a campaign that has not lived up to early expectations.

A whole host of names such as Thiago Motta, Roberto De Zerbi, Paulo Fonseca, Sergio Conceicao, Julen Lopetegui and more have been linked with the role that is not yet vacant.

It is not easy for the club to press ahead with their transfer strategy when there is uncertainty over the coach, so that must be decided first.

In terms of transfers, Milan must prepare to lose the experience of Olivier Giroud and Simon Kjaer this summer, and then react by signing at least one quality striker, and perhaps a new midfielder and central defender.

Among all that, players like Mike Maignan, Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez are being watched by some big clubs.
