CorSera: Pioli’s trophy target inextricably linked to future at Milan

Stefano Pioli’s desire to win a trophy this season at AC Milan is something linked very clearly with his future at the club, a report suggests.

As has been reported by Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), Pioli very frequently finds himself in the crosshairs and he almost lost his job just weeks ago when results and performances reached a worrying level.

Milan have been on a positive trajectory in recent weeks, though, and tonight they are facing Atalanta in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. Should they win that game at San Siro, a two-legged tie against Fiorentina awaits them.

There is a very clear and achievable route to the final and Pioli is desperate to get there. With it already looking very unlikely, though not impossible, for Milan to win the Serie A title, this is the best opportunity for a trophy.

They are in the Europa League, but it is hard to think about winning that tournament until the quarter-final stage as it is such a marathon, with multiple two-legged ties against quality opposition.

Winning the Coppa Italia would improve Pioli’s stock with the fans and perhaps allow him more leniency in Serie A and the Europa League when that tournament kicks off again.

  1. If the owner has ambition we will change the coach in the summer. Limited and bald Piolu needs to go. Hopefully they hire someone with hair

    1. Didn’t know being “bald” had any influence on Pioli as a manager. So, please explain, what does that have to do with the need for him “to go” that you wish.

    2. Change coach just like Napoli,new coach with new idea at the middle of the season, that will take time for players to adapt but if they don’t adapt soon, they start to break down mentally and then we find ourselves in 7 or 8 place at the end of the season. Why can’t some of u people see that pioli is trying with limited budget and allot of injury

      1. Have you read what i wrote or do you need to go through grade school again? Or maybe you are still in it?

        Try my first sentence again and read it very, very slowly. Maybe write it down and read it outload. And then do it 12 times.

        -If the owner has ambition we will change the coach in the summer-

        once you do that come back and apologize
