The chances of Stefano Pioli being the AC Milan coach when the 2024/25 Serie A season begins have been increasing in recent weeks, but he is certainly not in the clear just yet.
As has been reported by Corriere dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan), the improvement in form that Milan have shown in recent weeks means that a lot of the noise around Pioli’s future has subsided, although it has not entirely gone.
It is difficult for fans to get overly excited about the upturn in form because Inter are playing so well and will almost certainly win the Serie A title this season, something that Milan were expected to be challenging closely for.
Milan have won 52 points from the first 24 games of the season. In the era of three points for a victory, the Rossoneri had only achieved more with Fabio Capello in 1995/1996 and Carlo Ancelotti in 2003/2004.
Milan have won five and drawn one so far in 2024, and the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Giorgio Furlani and Paolo Scaroni have been public in their support of Pioli.
He is under contract until the end of next season, but the performance for the rest of the season will really decide his future, He could earn a new contract, or the two parties could go their separate ways.
