The match tonight between AC Milan and AS Roma, which will be played at San Siro at 8:45 PM (GMT+1) will be a crucial test for both Stefano Pioli and José Mourinho. Both teams have experienced difficult situations so far and they are aiming to turn things around in the second half of the season.
This morning, Il Corriere della Sera talks about Pioli and Mourinho being on shaky ground. Both coaches are coming off a bitter elimination in the Coppa Italia, a competition in which they aimed to go all the way.
Now, they are playing for their future, and the match begins tonight. They will have the entire second half of the season to convince their respective American ownerships, who made significant investments this summer to strengthen the two teams.
Despite the current differences in the league standings, the objectives are the same. Both the AC Milan and the AS Roma teams are chasing a spot in the Champions League, and both teams find themselves in the Europa League playoffs with the hope of achieving some satisfaction as the European competition progresses.
