Chinese give Giampaolo OK?

By Football Italia staff

It’s reported Milan’s potential new Chinese owners have given the OK to Coach Marco Giampaolo.

The tactician left Empoli at the end of the season, having taken the Tuscan side to comfortable mid-table safety.

Cristian Brocchi is under contract until June 30, but it’s not clear if the current Coach will have his contract extended for next season.

Rossoneri planning is on hold as talks talk place over the sale of the club, with a Chinese consortium looking to 70 per cent of the shares from Silvio Berlusconi and Fininvest.

Today, Tuttosport reports that, after some convincing, the potential new owners have given the thumbs-up to Giampaolo.

In addition, the newspaper reports that Riccardo Saponara, Empoli’s star man last season, would follow the Coach to San Siro if he is appointed.
