Specifically, La Repubblica reported that the new contract has been agreed upon by both parties. Milan agreed to a four-year contract, and Guardiola will receive a salary of 6 million euros per season.
In addition, Guardiola has also agreed to give former defender Paolo Maldini a place in the coaching staff. Although not yet official, it is highly likely that the living legend of Milan will take on the role of assistant to Pep.
Meanwhile, Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that Pep Guardiola could take over as Milan manager sooner than expected if Allegri leaves before the end of the season. Following their 0-1 defeat in the Milan derby, the Rossoneri are sinking deeper into crisis, currently sitting in 11th place with 7 points, 12 points behind league leaders Juventus.
According to the same newspaper, Milan's management will spend more money to bring Guardiola to San Siro ahead of schedule. However, if Pep refuses, Milan's management will let assistant coach Mauro Tassotti lead the team until the end of the season.
