2022/23 Serie A champions Napoli are looking to hire current AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli as the Italian is expected to leave Milan. Pioli is likely to depart Milan at the end of the season after their recent disappointments, including being knocked out of the Europa League and losing the Serie A title to Inter.

Napoli have shown strong interest in Pioli for some time, and it seems they are close to making an offer. According to reports from Il Mattino via CN24 via GETFootball, Napoli's CEO Aurelio de Laurentiis has been in contact with Pioli for months and is eager to bring him on board. The club is prepared to offer Pioli a two-year contract worth €3 million per season, which fits within their budget. However, Napoli will only make a move once Pioli's contract with Milan is officially terminated.

Pioli, meanwhile, is focused on finishing the season with Milan before considering any new opportunities. He is committed to staying in Italy and has no plans to take a break from his managerial career. Antonio Conte is another name that Napoli are considering at this point. It has to be seen who will be leading the Naples-based club next season.
