Bianchin: Pioli unwilling to sack staff member as Milan ‘do not have a clear answer’

AC Milan are in the process of finding a solution to their injury struggles at the start of this season. Although one option could be to sack the athletic coach Matteo Osti, this is something that Stefano Pioli has opposed. 

Milan’s injury struggles were further highlighted in the 2-2 draw against Lecvce, with Davide Calabria and Rafael Leao withdrawing from the game. Now, as the international break, the Rossoneri are keen on getting to the bottom of the issue.

In an interview with Tutti Convocati, Gazzetta dello Sport’s Luca Bianchin shared his thoughts on the matter and what can be done. He stated that sacking the athletic coach Osti is an option, but remains frowned upon by Pioli.

“The only concrete thing could be to think about sacking Osti, but I don’t think this decision will be made. Managers generally view changes to their staff by the club poorly. Milan don’t have a clear answer to this problem,” he stated.

A solution must be found during this break and inspiration could be taken from an NFL study. Regardless of the solution, though, Pioli and his staff must be on the same page as the Milan management to make things work. One way or another, the injuries need to end.
