Stefano Pioli's aim is to win the Europa League trophy, which is missing from the club's trophy cabinet. It is the only solution that could perhaps guarantee the coach his stay for next season at Milanello.
The hashtag '#Pioliout' continues to trend on social media among Milan fans who consider the cycle of the former Inter and Fiorentina boss in the club to have been over for some time now.
The management wants to take the necessary time to analyse every aspect thoroughly. The players are still on the side of the coach, but this factor may not be enough because the results today are far from the initial expectations, and there are no substantial improvements compared to the many flaws shown in the first part of the season, writes Calciomercato.com.
Thiago Motta to replace Stefano Pioli at Milan?
The shadow of Thiago Motta remains over Stefano Pioli. To date, the coach of Bologna can be considered a strong candidate in case of a turnaround on the bench. Milan has been studying Thiago Motta for months and is increasingly fascinated by his ability to enhance young players, by an offensive but balanced style of play, and by excellent communication.
This is why the former Spezia coach is more convincing than other foreign solutions that have been explored in recent weeks. It is certainly not a mystery that there is interest in Conte, with Ibrahimovic as the main figure behind him, but it seems that the former Italy national team coach seems to want to wait for Bayern Munich.
