Napoli interested in Milan boss Stefano Pioli

Serie A champions Napoli are interested in the possibility of signing Stefano Pioli as manager next season.

The season has been a shambles for Napoli, in general and when it comes to managers. Theyโ€™ve had two different managers, with both having struggled to match levels of last season. Walter Mazzarriโ€™s contract at the club runs out at the end of the season.

Il Mattino have reported (via CalcioNapoli24) about the clubโ€™s hunt for a new manager, stating that while Antonio Conte remains Aurelio de Laurentiisโ€™ dream, Pioli is also well liked and he is of interest to the Partenopei CEO. De Laurentiis is a big fan of Pioliโ€™s flexibility, pragmatism and an ability to manage well against superior opposition.

Two other Italians who are in the running happen to be Fiorentinaโ€™s Vincenzo Italiano and Atalantaโ€™s Gian Piero Gasperini. La Viola boss Italiano was linked with Napoli even last summer, but a move didnโ€™t go through as the manager rejected the Serie A champions.
