Just two months before the summer, Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani delivered a strong warning to coach Stefano Pioli, who is currently under siege.
Over the past six months, the 58-year-old Rossoneri coach has been under heavy fire from supporters and commentators, who have taken issue with the team’s dismal Champions League performance and failure to stay up with rivals and league leaders Inter.
Even though a lengthy list of potential Pioli replacements has been proposed, Milan hasn’t decided on the coach’s future as of yet, causing a lot of uncertainty as the season’s last two months draw near.
Furlani’s warning to Pioli During a lengthy interview with la Gazzetta dello Sport, Furlani made it apparent what he thought of Pioli’s future
in Milan.
“Our season is going well so far, but another club exceeded expectations, just like the year before.
Inter today, Napoli yesterday. Pioli’s tenure at Milan has been distinctly favorable; he won the Scudetto and returned the team to the Champions League.
“He receives a lot of criticism, yet he has produced significant outcomes. Nobody at the club has ever mentioned that his job is in jeopardy.
Even while the derby is crucial, it would be unjust to judge him primarily on how he performs in the Europa League going forward.
Speaking at a pre-match news conference before the match against Fiorentina, Pioli was irritated by all the discussions concerning his future at Milan, but he assured reporters that he would make his plans known after the season.
