AC Milan players and management continue to show and express suport for their coach, Stefano Pioli. These are unequivocal signs of a group that wants to finish the season strongly by focusing on one game at a time. Then, as always, results will determine the future of the coaching staff.
In recent weeks, at Milan, several coaches have been linked. Some Italian and foreign options have indeed been explored, but at present, there is no clear favorite for the bench.
Conte, Motta, De Zerbi, Lopetegui are certainly different profiles, but they possess characteristics that Casa Milan finds interesting and worth discussing regarding future projects and ambitions, writes Calciomercato.com.
After the disappointing draw in Salerno, Pioli was "practically dismissed". On one hand, the lack of readily available quality alternatives during the current season, on the other hand, the support of the senior players who voted confidence in the coach led to his confirmation.
The chances of him still being the Milan coach next season are not so high because in the final assessment, elimination in the Champions League group stage and in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia will carry weight.
Is his fate already sealed? Not yet, Pioli still has two cards to play. The first is related to the Europa League: a potential final success could strengthen the position of the former Fiorentina coach. The card related to the league is less strong because the gap from Inter seems insurmountable.
