GdS: ‘A rekindled flame’ – Conte could leave Napoli and remains ‘fascinated’ by Milan | OneFootball

AC Milan may make the decision to change coach once again in the summer, and the idea of Antonio Conte arriving cannot be ruled out.

When the decision was made to move on from Stefano Pioli towards the end of last season, there was pressure from various pundits and fans to hire Conte, a man who has won virtually anywhere he has been.

However, the directors decided to go for Paulo Fonseca who ended up lasting just 24 games before being sacked. They then turned to Sergio Conceicao, and while there has been some upturn the top four still looks a long way away.

Given the break clause in his deal, there remains a chance that Conceicao lasts only six months as well. La Gazzetta dello Sport have put forward the rather surprising idea that Conte could end up at Milan after all.

Their podcast is titled: ‘From the first clues to the Ibra unknown: a rekindled flame between Conte and Milan?’. With the end of the season just a few months away, they stated Conte’s farewell to Napoli seems ‘far from unlikely’.

They add: ‘The Italian coach wants to stay in Italy and the Milan project, which had already fascinated him a year ago, still seems to be designed specifically for him’.
