That means Milan are expected to part ways with manager Stefano Pioli, who had brought the title back to the San Siro in 2021/22. Pioli has served Milan well and returned the club to relevancy in European football, even reaching the semifinals of the Champions League last season. However, there's a feeling in Milan that the club has reached its ceiling under Pioli and requires a new man to lead them in a different direction under RedBird's rule. Here are five of the best managers AC Milan could realistically hire in the summer 2024 window.
