It was a mistake when Milan already had plans to fire Stefano Pioli and was already targeting Conte, Milan should have moved quickly to get the coach but it seems like Milan still had doubts about Conte so the team didn't move faster to get the coach.
on the one hand, I heard rumors that Milan is also eyeing De Zerbi, who might be an alternative if they can't get Antonio, and I'm also not sure if Milan will decide to make an offer to De Zerbi because currently the coach is still under contract with an EPL team.

It's sad to see Stefano Pioli have to leave Milan, whereas if Stefano Pioli is retained I'm sure Milan can get better results in the next season or maybe try to get the Scudetto title, but on the one hand, Milan decision is very wise because this team wants to try to bring in a coach new with greater experience to be able to take Milan to a higher level.
unfortunately, we don't yet know the latest rumors regarding Stefano Pioli replacement, perhaps currently Milan is not too hasty because they still have a very long time, but my hope is that Milan doesn't choose the wrong coach who doesn't have experience which could destroy Milan future.

Milan perform under Stefano Pioli not really poor because success winning scudetto last two season, but small fund allocated for transfer top players make Milan difficult reach higher level perform but keep consistent finish on Champion League spot standings every season. After sacking Stefano Pioli, Milan still not announce yet who candidate become their manager for next season and seems waiting after Euro 2024 or waiting official releasing from management appointing new manager for next season.

Right now have many top manager as free agent after sacking by their team before from Thomas Tuchel, Xavi Hernandez and Juventus head coach former Massimo Allegri could be candidate list become Milan manager for next season because he was Milan former last several season before.

Xavi might be a good option. I said that because he has just been fired from Barcelona. So he has a point to prove. So he could be a good option. Other than that, Scaloni could be a very good option. Tuchel might not be a very good option if they actually want to win. Because when I saw him with Chelsea, his tactics were a little questionable, to be honest. They might keep de Zerbi into consideration. But the best decision should be Xavi. He had done really well with Barcelona even though he did not have basically any kind of money even though Barcelona does not want to admit that. So he should be the first priority among these names that you mentioned.

It is also probably a wrong thing to say that they are not in a hurry. I also agree that they are a little confused probably.

You need to realize that Napoli and Antonio Conte have reached an agreement and also, Antonio Conte has a contract until 2027 in Napoli. So, there is no longer a chance for Milan to compete with Napoli to get Antonio Conte, because Antonio Conte has signed a contract with Napoli for a few days ago. Then. But regarding Stefano Pioli, I think Stefano Pioli's contract has expired because after all, I don't know whether Stefano Pioli was fired or his contract with Milan has ended. But apart from that, I think Stefano Pioli's departure is a good way too, because basically Stefano Pioli also left in a good way. But indeed, of course Milan will try to appoint a new coach for next season and that will of course happen sooner or later.

We also cannot forget that Osimhen is actually being pursued by a lot of clubs. So there is a very high possibility that one of those clubs make such an offer which is really good for Napoli to pass. And if they are actually bringing Lukaku into the team, there is not a very strong reason for them to actually keep Osimhen in the team. Of course, if they are going to see a very good offer which is stupid to say no to, they are not going to say no.

By the way, what does the player want? If he actually actually wants to leave, there is no point in this discussion. Because if Osimhen once left, that is going to happen. Generally, when a player wants to leave a club, the club cannot do much to keep him. Has he said anything about what he wants to do?

Seria A elite clubs are positioning themselves for the top battle next season. It's definitely going to be elite for them because most of these clubs have to configure their clubs when it comes to managerial management and also making important signings for the purpose to make increase in stellar performance. Stefano Pioli have done his best for AC Milan but they club needs to write a new chapter inother to boosts their performance.

AC Milan have officially parted ways with Stefano Pioli this season after failing to present at least one trophy to AC Milan, but I think Stefano Pioli dismissal may not be just a reason for failing to win trophies this season, there may be a bad relationship between the management and Stefano Pioli so that they do not wait for the end of the season or when they have reached an agreement with another coach to sack Stefano Pioli this season, so far, actually Milan under Stefano Pioli coaching is not too bad because in fact Stefano Pioli managed to bring Milan to the scudetto in 2022 after previously the last time they got the 2011 season, besides that in the 2022/23 season he managed to bring Milan to the semifinals of the Champions League after previously they continued to fail to compete in the Champions League, this season is Stefano Pioli last season in Milan but he managed to bring Milan to finish as runner up Serie A.

To be honest, I think the dismissal of Stefano Pioli by Milan does not have a strong reason and will actually be a disadvantage for Milan to fire a coach who is reliable and also genius in concocting game strategies, currently there are several coaches who are indeed linked with Milan next season, but among these names it seems that Fonseca will indeed be a strong candidate to replace Stefano Pioli position.

Don't believe that they are in no rush, they probably want to have a replacement for Pioli soon, but just haven't found one yet. And "No", I don't think it's likely they'll want to see the managers at the EURO, there aren't any great managers there who could possibly take their team to the top and then leave like that.

So far, based on rumors, there are 6 managers who might go to AC Milan, including: Paulo Fonseca, Roberto De Zerbi, Lionel Scaloni, Thomas Tuchel, Sergio Conceicao and Xavi Hernandez. Which of these managers do you think is most likely to go to AC Milan?

Napoli's playing it smart. A safety net is this Osimhen extension. They get to keep their star striker, but if some big club comes knocking with the cash, they won't stand in his way. Chelsea and PSG taking a backseat? That's perhaps not a negative. Lower pressure on Napoli, more negotiating power. Guy, control is everything

Lukaku? That's a difficult one. Chelsea's tough negotiators, always looking for the best deal. Conte is still a possibility, though. He'll push for Lukaku if he believes in his potential. Dude, this is more intense than a high-stakes poker game. Although a lot is at risk, there is a substantial potential reward. Again, Lukaku and Conte together? Success is guaranteed by such combination. Though we'll see how things turn out, it's undoubtedly something to watch

Giovanni Martusciello status only as caretaker in Lazio because today Lazio has been announce that they will have new manager namelly Marco Baroni and soon Baroni will signing 2 years contract and 1 year extended option with this team however i thought Lazio will hire Miroslav Klose as the next manager because previously he is the strong candidate as the replacement of Igor Tudor but apparently this is just a rumour and let see what Marco Baroni can do for next season but according to his managerial career Marco Baroni have no experience to train big team because since 2001 he was train plenty of Serie B teams but as far i know Marco Baroni never gets any trophies and even he almost make Verona to be relegated this season so i have to says Marco Baroni recent records is really not impressive and Marco Baroni job is not easy in Lazio because he have to lifted up Lazio performance next season and Lazio was targetting top 4 place under him so let see it later whether Marco Baroni can achieve the target which given by Lazio owner or not

Yes, I don't know what happened to Igor Tudor, because after only 3 months as coach at Lazio, he resigned again. In fact, if you look at Igor Tudor's performance at Lazio, I think the results are quite good. The reason is that this season Igor Tudor succeeded in bringing Lazio to finish in 7th place in Serie A and at the same time was able to win a ticket to the European League. So it can be concluded that Igor Tudor has quite good prospects at Lazio even though he has only been in office for 3 months. Therefore, I personally really regret that Igor Tudor had to leave Lazio. But it can't be helped, Igor Tudor's decision has already passed and certainly cannot be changed anymore. Therefore, currently Lazio must look for another coach who can really bring Lazio back to success in Serie A. Until now there has been no definite news regarding who will replace Igor Tudor in Lazio's coaching chair. But from rumors circulating, it is reported that Lazio is eyeing the Verona coach, Marco Baroni. Several news media even said that Lazio had reached an agreement with Marco to fill the coaching chair at Lazio.

If this is true, I think Marco can definitely make Lazio develop even more next season. Because even when he served as Verona coach, the results could also be said to be quite good. So it is certain that when Marco is made coach at Lazio, which has various aspects that exceed Verona, it will make him more optimal in carrying out his tactics and strategies. Because even with his limitations when he was at Verona, Marco was able to make Verona into a pretty good team.

Milan is a club that doesn't change coaches very quickly. Because the Milan management knows very well that any coach needs time to adapt to the players in his team. It is foolish to think that the performance of the team will improve immediately with the change of coach. Moreover, most of the times we see that the performance of the teams becomes unstable after the change of coach. This is why the Milan management is not interested in a quick coach change.

Stefano Pioli coached Milan for the last 5 seasons. I wouldn't say that Milan's performance with Pioli was poor. But I look forward to seeing if the players can adapt to the likes of Paulo Fonseca. Paulo Fonseca coached Roma and Lille in the last few years. With Paulo Fonseca, Roma and lille's performance was strong, no way to say that.

Milan doesn't look like they are in a hurry to bring a new manager after parting ways with Pioli. I assume they just decide to wait for Euro 2024 to end. Maybe they even want to watch some managers here to add them to the list according to the performance. 

There are always good managers out there. Making the right choice is the most difficult thing for the long term. Milan likes to bring Italian managers more often than the ones from other nationalities. They might have entered the race as well if Napoli didn't finish Conte deal quickly. After Allegri and Ancelotti, this was the first time they went for the long term with the same coach. I'm curious about whether they will find a manager to work with for as long as Pioli's time.

Romelu Lukaku is the ideal typical striker needed by Antonio Conte and has planning bring him to Napoli on next winter transfer window opening, its bit difficult because Chelsea as current club for Lukaku never want to make agreement swap including Victor Osimhen and Chelsea want to any one team interested with Lukaku pay offer 38 million euro.
Antonio Conte and Romelu Lukaku have good relationship and both of them success bring Inter Milan become the winner of Serie when Antonio Conter as Inter Milan head coach and he want bring good memorize with Lukaku in Napoli for next season.

Still not clearly the future of Victor Osimhen keep staying with Napoli but not get appearance for playing in Champion League for next season or looking for other team but Napoli never let him go under 100 million fees transfer. Napoli will try to sell Osimen and earn much money for recruiting new players exactly Antonio Conte main target to sign Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.

Conte is quite an experienced coach. Conte can strengthen the Napoli squad if the Napoli management gives Conte the freedom to work and provide the necessary funds to strengthen the squad. But the Napoli management is not interested in spending too much money. So it cannot be said for sure whether Conte will be able to strengthen this team next season.

Conte is interested in adding Lukaku to the squad. But I don't believe that Napoli management will add Lukaku to the squad for 37 million. Such a large amount means Napoli management will not be interested in spending for Lukaku. However, if they want to perform well in the next season, Napoli definitely need an experienced striker.

Currently, talks about Victor Oshime all calm and quiet. I don't know who wants him no more, we'll wait until after the European Competition then.
Arsenal should make a move if Chelsea has no plans, if they can sign up Declan Rice for such figures, why can't they do same with Victor Oshime? Maybe they should do installment payments.

I want to see if he'd rather a season stay with Napoli or even move to Paris Saint Germans which would be a club capable of paying off his dues. But they'll be affected by fair play rules if they sign both Khivicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Oshime together from Napoli.

I'd love him to work a season with Antonio Conte anyways, top lad working with a top manager.

As for Conte and Lukaku, they did work together during that season at Inter Milan as they also went ahead to win the league Competition.
The likes of Ashley Young, Christian Erikson and Romelu Lukaku all won the trophy that season. Lukaku was amongst them that scored quality goals for the club, so I'm not surprised by themselves linking back together.

Osimhen has actually extended his contract with Napoli at the end of last season, but strangely he also does not rule out the possibility of leaving if there are indeed other teams that will recruit him, I think the contract extension between Napoli is done only to include a big release clause in his new contract, especially since PSG was rumored to be very interested in recruiting Napoli this season so that at least later it will give a big advantage to Napoli,  Next season Napoli will not play in the Champions League so that Osimhen is quite disappointed and napoli allows him to leave for another team, but PSG, who was previously quite interested in Osimhen but is now not in talks with Napoli, in addition to PSG,Chelsea have reportedly also withdrawn from their desire to sign Osimhen next summer.

Conte arrival will of course give a new color to Napoli's performance next season, and even Conte has prepared several names of players that Napoli must recruit to be able to compete next season, including Lukaku, but reportedly the deal is very difficult to happen because Chelsea wants Napoli to pay 37 million euros, while Napoli wants a trade-in option between Osimhen and Lukaku and Chelsea rejected it.
Lukaku and Conte have worked together so indeed Conte understands the characteristics of Lukaku game so far, although indeed Lukaku this season is not in his best form but it seems that Conte has a strong reason to recruit him and of course maybe Conte has the right solution to restore Lukaku performance later if he plays for Napoli next season.

From available reports, Lazio already gotten a new couch after parting ways with Tudor. In as much as I admit that his performance was actually short of expectations, that was not the actual reason for his departure from Lazio. He was also not fired but willingly resigned due to lack of understanding between him and the club. Lazio was outstanding in the past because I remember always placing a bet on them whenever they are playing and they always delivered with lots of goals but it has become things of past. I hope the new couch will find the task easy and be able to take them to former glory because if interference is too much from the club management and the couch, it mostly end in disappointment.

Osimhen probably doesn't want to be at Napoli anymore because Napoli don't play in the Champions League competition, I think that's a natural thing for a player like Osimhen, it's appropriate for him to go to a much stronger team.
Meanwhile, NApoli's plan to recruit Lukaku cannot be separated from Antonio Conte's wishes because Conte is quite happy with Lukaku and I think from what has happened in the past Lukaku's quality will suit Conte's coaching style quite well.
Even though Lukaku's performance has really declined at the moment, I think every coach has his own point of view and we have to respect that.

I don't see Lukaka as a backup striker; if not, Conte would go for a younger striker who still has more playing years ahead of him so that when Osimehn leaves Napoli, the striker will replace him. But for Conte, choosing to go for Lukaka, who has fewer playing years to retire as a professional footballer, means that Lukaka's style of play fits into his coaching style. Big clubs might want to secure Osimehn's signature late so that they will not get many rivals, who will make the buying price of Osimehn so high. If any big club indicates interest in signing Osimehn now, you will see that other big clubs will be interested in Osimehn, and the competition will make Napoli want to sell Osimehn for a lot of money because he is hot in the transfer window.
