Abate wants to take a step forward amid expiring Milan deal – the situation

Stefano Pioli might not be the only head coach to depart AC Milan at the end of the season because Ignazio Abate’s contract is set to expire.

As Calciomercato.com recall, Abate has led the Primavera to the final four of the UEFA Youth League in each of the last two seasons, more specifically the semi-final last season and the final this season. The path in the league has become complicated after recent games but they can still get back into the play-off zone.

This is without forgetting the growth of many players who have made their debuts in the first team, from Jan-Carlo Simic to Davide Bartesaghi, from Chaka Traorè to Kevin Zeroli and also Francesco Camarda. The work done so far can only be judged positively.

Abate is a true Milanista and he knows the club inside out, both the PUMA House of Football and Milanello. He enjoys the great trust of Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio, who were among the first to believe in his coaching abilities.

His players adore him and this bond that has been created may play a role in the choice to be made in a few weeks because Abate’s contract is expiring and he needs to understand what is best for his career and growth.
