Stefano Pioli is said to be just one step away from renewing his contract with AC Milan, with the deal likely be finalised before Christmas.
The 56-year-old coach is close to an agreement that would see him remain in charge of the Serie A side until 2023 or 2024, depending on which clauses will be included in the deal.
