The Italian newspaper Tuttosport, in this morning's print edition, discussed Stefano Pioli's future and his delicate situation at Milanello.
Elimination from the Coppa Italia has once again darkened the clouds over the club, even though the management's confidence in him remains unchanged, and they will continue with him until the end of this season unless there are spectacular collapses.
Afterward, the necessary evaluations will be made, and it will be understood whether Pioli will have another chance (difficult at the moment), or someone else will take over, from Thiago Motta to Francesco Farioli, passing through Antonio Conte (with Italiano as a possible outsider). However, tonight against Roma will not be a straightforward match.
Due to the exit from the Coppa Italia and after the elimination, the more painful one, from the Champions League, a defeat at home could make the atmosphere incandescent.
On Wednesday, the fans booed, and tonight there will be a sold-out San Siro that will support the team, but will also be ready to contest in case of a negative result.
In the stands alongside Ibrahimovic, there will also be Gerry Cardinale, the club owner who, in his letter at the end of 2023, expressed disappointment with the results achieved so far. AC Milan finished with 39 points, one more than the first half of the '22-23 season. Twelve months ago, the Rossoneri were even in second place, 12 points behind Napoli, but they finished fifth, reaching the Champions League only thanks to Juventus' penalty.
