Monza assesses Paolo Bianco's future after Serie A promotion

Italian club Monza, newly promoted to Serie A, is reviewing the status of head coach Paolo Bianco. Bianco, whose contract automatically extends to 2028 following promotion, has been linked with interest from Pisa, Verona and Cremonese. Club executives, including CEO Baldisson and director Burdisso, are set to meet early next week to decide whether to retain Bianco or appoint a new manager. Names mentioned as possible successors include former Juventus defender Ignazio Abate, as well as D'Aversa, Baroni and Palladino.

The decision comes as Monza prepares for its first season in the top flight, with the coaching choice seen as a critical factor for the club's strategy, squad planning and overall performance in Serie A.
