Criscitiello suggests Milan are observing Serie A boss as potential Pioli successor

Journalist Michele Criscitiello has suggested that AC Milan are keeping a close eye on another Serie A manager who could take over from Stefano Pioli in the future. 

The Sportitalia broadcaster (via Radio Rossonera) explained that Milan are actually already looking for the next coach to take over from Pioli in the event that form does not improve in the coming weeks and months.

The coach in question is Bologna’s Thiago Motta, who has been doing extremely well with the Rossoblu and is getting plenty of plaudits for taking them to sixth in Serie A.

Their last win was a 2-0 triumph over Torino at the Stadio Renato dall’Ara. The former Inter and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is being watched by a number of clubs and Milan are said to be one of them.

They are now pushing to qualify for the European places in Serie A which would be a superb season result. That is unlikely to happen if Motta is poached.
