Milan are reported to be reviewing his position more than ever because the team only got a 2-2 draw thanks to a very late equaliser from Luka Jovic.
The repetitive muscle injuries and the inconsistent results mean that the end could be near for Pioli, but he is expected to be given at least until the next match against Sassuolo on December 30.
Whilst a sacking is not imminent, Milan will have been thinking about potential replacements for the coach and there are plenty of good options who are without a club right now, as put together by Milan News.
– Franck Lampard
– Graham Potter
– Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
– Joachim Löw
– Hansi Flick
– Antonio Conte
– Julen Lopetegui
– Igor Tudor
– Dunga
– Ralph Hasenhüttl
Depending on your persuasion, there is little in that list which sparks massive excitement. Antonio Conte has immense pedigree but would be a very different type of coach.
Graham Potter has worked outside of the UK before and is known to be ready for a return to management. He would also match the data-led recruitment methods that Milan are now using.
Julen Lopetegui has a certain amount of pedigree and is regularly linked with some of the top jobs in Europe.
