Stefano Pioli is virtually on his own when it comes to managing the team in this decision moment of the season, a report has claimed.
According to a report from Sky, the continued absence of directors at Milanello continues to cause discussion. Even today, nobody was present and in the crucial moment of the season it is rare that they have been seen.
Last season the team were used to the daily presence of Paolo Maldini or Ricky Massara, who were very often together and watched training sessions from the sidelines. Maldini also spoke to players as well.
This year Zlatan Ibrahimovic is seen at most once a week, while the trio of Geoffrey Moncada, Antonio D’Ottavio and Giorgio Furlani have been seen ‘very rarely’.
The feeling is that head coach Stefano Pioli has been left alone when it comes to managing the squad in the business end of the season. Some would say that is only correct given he is the head coach, but as mentioned it is a change from the previous reality.
In the meantime, the team began the week of preparations for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie against Roma, with a comeback needed after the 1-0 loss at San Siro.
