According to the "Sports of Milan", Pioli will stay in Riyadh until July 2, so that she can enjoy tax exemption.
If a foreigner lives in Saudi Arabia for 183 days within one year, he or she can be exempted from personal income tax. Pioli signed to become Riyadh Victory Head Coach in September last year and cannot meet the tax exemption requirement in 2024. But as long as he and his spouse stay in Riyadh until July 2, his income in 2025 will be tax-free.
If Pioli leaves Riyadh to win by July 2, he will not be able to enjoy Saudi tax-free benefits and will be required to pay a tax on his income abroad in Italy. "Milan Sports" said that Pioli's annual salary in Riyadh victory is 12 million euros, of which the salary from 2025 to the present is 6 million, while the personal income tax rate in Italy is 45%, and the total tax involved is about 3 million euros.
Riyadh victory has been confirmed to change coaches this summer, and Pioli's dismissal is a foregone conclusion. Pioli is also preparing to return to Serie A to coach and negotiate a contract with Fiorentina. However, Pioli will not officially leave Riyadh and win on July 2, and will not coach Florence on July 3.
