Unbelievably, Marco Giampaolo, the former head coach of AC Milan, announced his return to the team.
The 51-year-old takes over for Gennaro Gattuso, who left the team last month after the Serie A team was not selected for the Champions League.
After leading Sampdoria to a ninth-place Serie A finish the previous season, Giampaolo departed the team.
Throughout his career, the Italian has also held managerial positions at Cagliari, Siena, Brescia, and Empoli.
Only a few days have passed since AC Milan greats Paolo Maldini and Zvonimir Boban assumed new roles at the team. Giampaolo’s arrival.
Boban became Milan’s new chief football officer after resigning from his role as Fifa’s deputy secretary general.
Maldini, a 25-year-old club veteran and former captain, has been officially named the new technical director.
Seven-time European champions AC Milan have not participated in the Champions League since 2013–14.
Following Milan’s domestic struggles in 2023, it was natural for rumors to start circulating, implying that Pioli’s position might not be as secure as had been previously stated.
The Rossoneri, however, are currently on track to place fourth, and a victory over Juventus (or Verona on the penultimate matchday) would guarantee them a place in the Champions League, a competition in which they made it to the semifinals this season.
As our colleagues at SempreMilan.it confirm, Pioli would undoubtedly remain in his position as head coach if Milan finished in the top four. Because of the money it brings in, the ownership set the goal of qualifying for the upcoming Champions League.
Although it ended with a well-earned loss to rival Inter in the final four, the European run was highly valued for the financial benefits it brought. Winning the Scudetto again was extremely difficult.
To address what went wrong in Milan, a meeting will undoubtedly take place at the end of the season.
