Another season ends for Milan (the match against Roma is just a friendly). The Rossoneri finish without any trophies, but with a second place in Serie A, qualification for the new format of the Champions League, and a ticket to the Final Four of the next Italian Super Cup.
Stefano Pioli's last dance concluded last night against Salernitana. A well-deserved celebration and acclaim for a coach who has given so much to this club during his tenure. Even last night's game was not all roses, quite the opposite. It perfectly summarised Milan's season: a very strong attack, capable of scoring goals and creating repeated chances, but many problems in defense, with many goals conceded. Another three just last night. And now? The club will have to provide answers: from the coach to the market, clear and decisive choices are needed.
Starting with the Curva Sud, which has protested against the club in the last home matches. Even last night, before the spectacular second half, Milan's organised fans protested with a very simple but extremely clear banner: "There is no positive season without victories. We will never settle."
And this will serve as the starting point: getting back to winning. To do this, clear decisions from the club are needed. Firstly, the new coach. Whoever it will be (with Fonseca looking increasingly likely), must arrive with the full confidence of the entire management and the internal environment of Milan. To do better than Pioli, all the tranquility possible will be needed.
The same goes for the market. Decisive moves are needed, not a revolution, but the essential pieces to give this squad the decisive boost. "The Milan of the future is one where we will do our best to make it more competitive. We will do more targeted work", said Furlani to DAZN.
A more targeted work could mean a couple of key signings in defence, an important signing in midfield, and a striker who can guarantee 20 goals a season. This is what a Milan aiming to win in the near future needs.
