Stefano Pioli's future at Milan in doubt

Stefano Pioli's tenure as the coach of Milan appears to be increasingly uncertain. Following a disappointing loss against Roma, speculation is rife that Pioli may be on his way out, despite having a year left on his contract.

The pressure mounts

The Milan coach is under pressure after failing to meet yet another seasonal objective. The team's only remaining goal is to secure second place in the league and deny Inter the Scudetto in the upcoming Monday night derby.

The verdict on Pioli

Critics have been vocal about their views on Pioli's future. One such critic, Ponciroli, stated that Pioli's cycle at Milan has ended and Antonio Conte is the only possible replacement. He criticized Pioli's defense of Leao and suggested that Pioli was trying too hard to prove that this Milan team could evolve, but was failing to do so.

Possible replacements

If Pioli were to leave, who would replace him? Ponciroli is not a fan of Lopetegui, and if the choices were between him and Pioli, he would prefer to stick with Pioli. However, if there were a chance to bring in a top coach, Conte would be his first choice.

Exclusive insights

In an exclusive interview with MilanNews.it, Luca Calamai shared his thoughts on the situation. He believes that Milan cannot continue with Pioli and that the ideal replacement would be Thiago Motta. He also expressed his surprise at Milan's negative performance in the double clash against Roma.

As the season draws to a close, the future of Stefano Pioli at Milan remains uncertain. Only time will tell what lies ahead for the Rossoneri.
