AC Milan are one win away from securing a spot in the 2023-24 edition of the Champions League, and it would almost certainly see Stefano Pioli keep his job.
After the difficulties that Milan have had on the domestic front during 2023 it was understandable that speculation began to circulate suggesting that Pioli’s job might not be as safe as had been made out previously.
However, the Rossoneri are currently on course to finish in fourth spot and a win against Juventus (or Verona on the final matchday) would see them secure a spot in the Champions League, a competition they reached the semi-finals of this time around.
As our colleagues at SempreMilan.it confirm, if Milan were to get top four Pioli would certainly keep his job as head coach. The ownership set the target of qualification for the next Champions League, which is crucial because of the revenues it brings.
Winning the Scudetto again was very difficult, but the run in Europe was very much appreciated because of the money that brought it, even if it did end with a deserved defeat against rivals Inter in the final four.
However, there will certainly be a meeting at the end of the season to clarify what went wrong in Milan.
