In my opinion, it seems unlikely that Pioli will move there, and did you forget when Pioli announced that he had begun learning English Premier League? The interest from al ittihad will not change his decision about his future, and I believe you are mistaken here. I meant that Romano stated that if Pioli was one of three contenders to replace Gallardo, it did not imply that Pioli had agreed to join Al Ittihad.
Although al Ittihad may offer him a very big pension package, I am confident that Pioli will reject Saudi Arabia's offer since he is still interested in coaching a European team.
I hope Pioli makes it to the EPL.
Pioli dismissal from AC Milan raises a lot of questions about what exactly happened, because so far we can see if Pioli is a coach who is able to lift Milan's performance and also position in recent seasons, when Milan fired Pioli I thought Milan would bring in a better coach than him but I was wrong because indeed Paulo Fonsesca as the new coach of Milan is actually not better than Pioli so far, Reportedly, Pioli is currently starting to learn English, so it indicates that it is possible that Pioli coaches the english team, but on the one hand we see that currently almost all Premier League clubs have a coach so we dont know where he really is going.
Although Pioli is currently learning English, I think the possibility of him going to Arabia is also wide open, because indeed currently many European players are playing in the Arab League so it requires him to learn English, besides that it is reported that at this time Al Ittihad is starting to try to negotiate with Pioli so it is indeed seen that Al Ittihad is very interested in him, At the moment Pioli is not coaching and of course taking on a new challenge in the Arab League will be able to give him a lot of experience and also money of course.
