AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani will meet with head coach Stefano Pioli to speak about the extent of the injury issues that the team have been battling for some time now, a report claims.
As Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) reports, Milan have amassed just two points in their last four games and are now well behind in the Scudetto race. In addition to the poor results, there is the problem of numerous injuries which in turn contributes to the drop in performances.
Furlani, who was in Dubai in recent days for the opening of the new Casa Milan UAE, will be back shortly and wants to resolve the issue of Milan’s injuries once and for all. He will presumably speak with Pioli as early as the middle of this week.
It seems difficult to imagine that Pioli will change anything regarding his staff through his own will. For this reason, it could be the managers themselves who make a decision which could also involve Matteo Osti, the current head of the athletic trainers.
It has nothing to do with the staff. It has to do with Pioli not having a brain that can install tactics that dont include his starting 11.
There is no reason Leao, Giroud, or even Calabria should have been playing against Lecce.
Spot on. And proves what I mentioned zillion times. Pioli is not a tactician. Just midcore coach
If you want a B-squad (we had to rest some starters already) that can easily compensate so many rotations that‘s not going to happen with a wage bill slightly larger than Atalanta‘s.
We are coming from a decade of bad management and have a lot of catching up to do.
There is a very valid point.
But the problem is that our style of play+the schedule pretty much require us to have almost an entire B team that can on its own fight for top 7 spot.
If we cannot provide enough quality players to rotate the team during games against weaker opposition and still win, then Pioli has to find a way to change his gameplan into a gameplan that results in less injury.
Perhaps Leao shouldn’t press forward and backtrack to then play against Lecce.
If Osti is an award winning athletic coach there is no sense in firing him for the sake of it, before taking a hard look at the medical department at the very least.
There is also no point in assuming reactions before meetings are even taking place.
Oh really? What award did he win? The most number of injuries in a single season? Or the most clubs coached in a decade?
Athletic coach of the year.
When Milan won Serie A no doubt. Of course he got an award, every person at Milanello got one. Cooks, dudes cutting grass, even the person that cleans the toilets got an award that year. It has literally no worth or value at all.
Hahaha 😂😂😂 bro he arrived in2019 and we’ve had injury issues ever since. Fck whatever award he won. The award isn’t solving our injury crisis. Why didn’t he win it for each of the clubs he coached since 2011….a different club each year…i wonder why 🤔
If this is an award he won during the 21/22 scudetto then it pretty much means nothing.
Many awards in football (unfortunetaly) tend be given to the staff or players of a winning team rather than someone who is doing exceptionnally well but whose team doesn’t have the trophies to support him.
Althoug I’m not saying that it’s necessarly Osti’s fault that we have so many injuries.
This could be the beginning of the end for Pioli in a way. He doesn’t want to fire Osti, the club intervenes and fires Osti, therefore undermining Pioli and creating more tension between Pioli and the club. Then a few more of these terrible performances and voila.
They don’t seem ready to dismiss Pioli now, but if this physio drama escalates, we crash out of the CL, and keep dropping points to clubs like Lecce and Udinese and he’ll be gone in January.
We live in perfect harmony now with Pioli, Furlani and Moncada lol 😂
AC Milan has had an injury crisis for over a decade if not for roughy 15 years but its just worsened in recent years and especially this one.
A lot of the injuries has also happened in matches or even at international callups which is not really that easy to avoid.
When that is said im obviously all for limiting this huge issue of the club, one way or the other.
I would give milanellos soil a check, same with san siros, then our training methods and our medical team should go through checkup as well.
