Ac Milan Coach Stefano Pioli Close To A New Contract Extension

Since taking over from Marco Giampaolo in October 2019, Pioli has amassed an average of 1.97 points per Serie A game.

They are currently joint Serie A leaders with Napoli and back in the Champions League for the first time in seven years, all with a far smaller transfer budget than many of their rivals.

The 56-year-old is currently only under contract until June 2022 and earns just €2m per season net, the same salary as Sinisa Mihajlovic at Bologna and Torino’s Ivan Juric.

Director Paolo Maldini and the coach himself have confirmed negotiations are going well for a new contract.

According to Calciomercato.it, the only sticking point remains getting the all-clear from Elliott Management for the increase in wages.

Pioli will still be a very long way off the top-earning coaches in Serie A, who are Max Allegri at Juventus and Roma’s Jose Mourinho, both picking up €7m per season net.
