Stefano Pioli is not currently at risk of being sacked as AC Milan manager but more negative results would force reflections over his future, according to one journalist.
It has been a simply awful start to 2023 for Milan as they have not only gone from second to sixth in the league table after a run of five games without a win in Serie A, but they also lost the Supercoppa Italiana 3-0 to Inter and were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by 10-man Torino.
The current four game losing streak across all competitions is the most worrying thing as a 3-0 defeat against Inter in Saudi Arabia was followed by a 4-0 loss to Lazio, a 5-2 defeat against struggling Sassuolo and most recently a 1-0 loss against Inter in the return league derby.
Sky’s Manuele Baiocchini spoke during an interview with MilanNews and he was asked quite simply if Pioli is at risk of losing his job given the terrible run of form.
“If it were to go badly against Torino and against Tottenham, Milan would have a streak of negative matches that was too long not to think that evaluations will be made for the future,” he said.
“Pioli did an extraordinary job, but then one cannot turn the page by having a disastrous Milan the following year. It must be said that, despite the disastrous period, Milan are only one point below the Champions League places and the season is recoverable, perhaps even trying to surprise in the Champions League. Milan are not in it just to make an appearance, but to go as far as possible.”
Just in time for pep… Splurge on pep so you won’t have to on players…. He’ll make them play great lol
We need to stop dreaming about Pep, Klopp, Tuchel, Conte, Pochettino, etc.
Unfortunately Milan is not a club on their level right now.
When Pioli gets fired will probably get some up and coming coach who will see Milan as a step up in his career and not a downgrade.
Going from ManCity, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham to Milan is a downgrade. Might not sound or feel good but that is the current reality and the reality of the last 10 years.
Milan neither can pay for those coaches nor they can buy them the quality of players that have made those coaches successful.
Wow Milanellofm comment went way over your head there bro
How is going from Tottenham to Milan, a downgrade? What have they achieved, compared to us?
They have money to spend and we don’t. That’s it but its a big deal unfortunately.
Tottenham spent more than Milan will in the next 5 years so coming to Milan is a downgrade for any coach. Conte isn’t an idiot to join a club and be blamed for bad results when in fact the team is mediocre on some positions. Same with Guardiola, they join clubs with ideas and finances. You have to be an idiot to be a top coach and join Milan that is haggling and losing players for 2M€ transfer difference. Are you serious?
@Jesus, So what has Tottenham achieved? Even after spending so much? Atleast we have, won something recently! They are apparently, not even good enough to win FA Cup..
From Pioli’s on fire to Pioli’s under fire to Pioli’s being fired
No, really? If results don’t improve, Pioli could be sacked? Stupid article.
I hope Don Carlo want to take over
But i want him sacked
