The season that AC Milan are currently having continues to divide opinion, all while speculation swirls regarding the future of head coach.
This morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via Radio Rossonera) provides a ranking of what they think are the best coaches in Serie A based on the season that is currently ongoing.
There is a list of 10 coaches that have a higher rating for the season, which begins with Simone Inzaghi (1st) who gets a 9 out of 10, as does Bologna’s Thiago Motta.
An 8 was given to Max Allegri of Juventus and Gian Piero Gasperini of Atalanta, then a 7.5 is given to Maurizio Sarri of Lazio. A 7 was awarded to Daniele De Rossi of Roma, Raffaele Palladino of Monza and Davide Nicola of Empoli.
Vincenzo Italiano (6.5) of Fiorentina even comes about Pioli (6). Alberto Polverosi, the author of the article, writes: “A step backwards for Pioli: after the masterpiece of the Scudetto two years ago, Milan’s level has dropped.”
It will certainly be an interesting summer when it comes to coaches potentially moving, with Italiano, Thiago Motta, De Rossi, Calzona, Nicola, Juric and Palladino all on contracts until the end of the season.
