Pioli criticised by Italian papers after losing yet another derby with Milan

Stefano Pioli lost the tactical battle against Simone Inzaghi last night and IOnter thus prevailed 5-1 in the derby against AC Milan. The Italian papers didn’t go easy on the manager this morning either. 

Milan struggled to match the quality of Inter and after conceding early on, it was an uphill battle from start to finish. In the end, the Nerazzurri won 5-1 and it’s clear that the Rossoneri still have a lot to work on.

MilanNews have compiled the ratings of the Italian papers, writing nothing but bad things about Pioli. In fact, he was rated the worst of Milan along with a couple of the players (such as Malick Thiaw).

Gazzetta dello Sport: 4.5/10

Tuttosport: 4/10

Corriere dello Sport: 5/10

Milan will have to pick themselves up quickly as they will face Newcastle on Tuesday evening. Starting the Champions League group stage will be crucial, given their tough group, and Pioli should be on edge up until the game.
