The truth about Pioli replacements and PIF takeover rumours [Bonus article]

First of all, happy holidays from all of us at SempreMilan! We hope you have had a good time so far, although it’s perhaps difficult this year due to the performances of our beloved AC Milan. Many things can be said about the latter, and now feels like a good time to discuss the latest developments.

Stefano Pioli’s position at the club has never been this uncertain. Or maybe that isn’t entirely true, actually, as Paolo Maldini considered sacking him in the summer. Nonetheless, Milan find themselves in a very difficult situation and the feeling is that a top-four finish is in danger.

And if last season was a disappointment, despite reaching the Champions League semi-finals, then this campaign could certainly be even worse at the end of the day. For Gerry Cardinale, that would be ‘strike two’ in trying to achieve sporting success with his unique model at Milan.

In the last few days, many interesting rumours have surfaced: Pioli’s future, potential replacements for next season and the alleged interest of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF). In this article, we discuss these rumours and what we have been told.
