AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli currently has the full support of the management but if a top four finish were not secured that could change, a report claims.
According to this morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), Pioli still has the esteem of the Rossoneri ownership despite the poor results domestically so far in 2023, but in the next two months things need to turn around.
Qualifying for the 2023-24 edition of the Champions League is essentially a minimum objective for Milan and one they absolutely cannot fail to achieve, so if they were to finish outside the top four it would cause reflections.
Those reflections would not just be limited to the head coach either as technical director Paolo Maldini would also come under scrutiny for the choices he and Ricky Massara made during the last summer window, ones that do not seem to have strengthened a squad that had just been crowned champions.
