But it looked like Rangnick's presence was a game changer for him. Now they have to convince him

Gazidis: “I am delighted with this agreement. Stefano has shown he can deliver the vision of football we have for our club - exciting, progressive and passionate. This is not a decision based on recent victories, but one based on how Stefano has built team spirit and unity of purpose, the way he has improved the performances of the individual players and the collective team. The way he [Pioli] has embraced our vision and the way he has represented himself and the club's values."
Pioli: “I am happy and proud of the trust I have received from AC Milan. I want to thank everyone, including our fans, who we are really missing at the stadium, but are always close and supportive. As I have said many times, our future is today: we must be focused and determined, be united and play as one. We are at the begining of an extraordinary path. If we keep working this way, we will grow and be more and more competitive.”

You guys keep telling me to do my research..
I think I understand it better than you guys..
He's great at finding talent. Amazing at it. However, even that job would be a little harder here. It's easier for the young talent to grow in an environment like Leipzig or Salzburg. The opposition is weaker (2nd div of Germany) and there was no pressure.
But you're telling me he would happily step aside once he's built something. Why can't he just step to one side now and let Pioli manage things. He has to be manager? Why? Why was he cool with that at Leipzig but not here?

Gazidis is between the rock and the hard place.
Grazie Padre Stefano.

It was different. Now we doing what we have been doing for the past few years with little to no success. Pioli is every single manager we have hired. Italian, terrible to average track record and that?s it. It?s the basic definition of insanity.

We're not allowed to ever make fun of Inter for dominating only the 1st part of the season again, we literally extended Pioli after 7 good games.

I'm still not convinced.
Let's look at an optimistic take:
Boban got fired for saying Rangnick was signed. Could have meant a pre-contract agreement, but his wording was very specific about him being the next coach and director.
The statement from Rangnick's representative was very weirdly worded:
It implies that the only thing that's blocking the move is that it's not the right time because of how well the team is doing. Let's think about why this is.
Pioli is at his absolute peak in terms of reputation and sporting success with Milan. He's doing incredibly well right now and rightly deserves to be the manager for next season. Ralf taking over in August at the end of the season would be both very unfair to Pioli and also to Ralf. He would be basically handed a poisoned chalice. If he wins and continues the success of Pioli, then people will say it's Pioli's team. If he fails then people will say it was a mistake to drop Pioli. It's just a shitty situation. Nobody predicted how well we'd be doing after the lockdown.
Now lets look at the money. Pioli has a contract until summer 2021. There's talk now that it will be extended, and if it is extended then everything i'm saying here will be wrong. If Pioli is fired in August then Milan will still have to pay his salary for the year or negotiate a termination. So they're paying him no matter what. Rangnick has a contract with RB until summer 2021 also, and he needs to buy himself out of it to get out early.
The success of the team right now makes it less urgent for Ralf to take over. Keep Pioli in charge for next year. If he keeps winning, great. If not, then Ralf takes over and it would be a much better time to do that. Same for Maldini also, they would have paid his salary anyway, so why not just let him continue his work since he's doing great anyway.
This could just be wishful thinking of someone still in denial, but it seems reasonable to me. We're not in a hurry to make this transition and doing it in August with Pioli doing so incredibly well right now would be a disaster.
Edit: Lol just as I wrote that they signed Pioli to 2022....

I'm awake.
I see that we have a world class GK
A strong CB pairing, one of whom is probably in the top 20 CBs.
A LB that is the best attacking LB in football.
Bennacer and Kessie who are bossing it.
And a few players like Rebic and Hakan, that are proving their worth.
Lets see what Maldini can land us. I can't fault him too much. They didn't sell any of the stars last summer. They added Bennacer, Theo and Rebic, who's stock have risen incredibly. And wisely added experience in winter. Plus got rid of one dimensional players like Suso and Piatek in good deals.

Honestly, it was way hard to decide which way to go after having played some of the best football we have in a decade. Only time will tell if this was the right decision.
Now that we're sticking with Maldini and Pioli. I hope we renew Ibra, and continue this mix of Young and Experienced. Apparently even Begovic is offering something in the locker room.
