Last week, the Italian media was abuzz with speculation that AC Milan were on the verge of welcoming Ibe back and teaming up with the legendary Abidi to take charge and fill the void left by Pioli. However, the official statement from A-Milan was a shocker, and it turns out that Ibe has been successfully invited to be a member of the board of directors.
In the last round of Serie A matches, AC Milan unexpectedly lost to Atalanta, and the difference between them and Inter Milan at the top of the table has reached 9 points. Coupled with the fact that the UEFA Europa League is at stake, Pioli's position is in jeopardy. According to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, if they lose again in the UEFA Europa League away game against Newcastle in the early hours of Thursday morning, AC Milan will decisively dismiss Pioli and invite Ibe and Abidi to be caretaker coaches.
This season, AC Milan's results have fallen apart and rumors of a managerial change continue to swirl. Ibe has recently publicly admitted to meeting with A-mi management to discuss some form of return. Fans have been waiting for the return of Ibe, but have found that he has not returned to the pitch, but has been promoted to management.
