I would not be surprised in the least if Abate is our coach in 2 months. It will be framed as a continuity hire, a Milan hire, an emphasis on youth and a changing of the guard. All true statements. He'll also be cheap, to offset letting Pioli go.
At this point, I wouldn't be mad. Curiously, Abate is younger than Giroud, if I'm to provide some context to how raw Abate is, and how fucking ancient Giroud is.
I mean, if I had to pick between Abate or Conte, I'd pick Abate. I know that will infuriate certain jerkoffs on here, but c'est la vie.
