On 8 October 2019, Milan dismissed coach Marco Giampaolo (due to poor results) after only 3 months of employment.[ 9] On the following day, Stefano Pioli was announced as his substitute.[ 9]
On 7 March 2020, it was announced that the contract with the club's "Chief Football Officer" Zvonimir Boban had been terminated.[ 9] A week prior to his dismissal, Boban was interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport and criticized the club's CEO Ivan Gazidis over rumors involving him signing a secret pre-contract deal with football manager Ralf Rangnick for the following season.[ 10] [ 11] After Boban's dismissal was officialized, the club's chairman Paolo Scaroni stated his support of Gazidis.[ 12] However, on 21 July 2020, the contract with current coach Stefano Pioli was extended until conclusion of the 2021/22 season.[ 13]
