With Milan’s disappointing recent run, there is a big pressure on the coach, who will have 30 days to save his neck
“Another disappointing result, another unexpected setback, this time against Lecce even after being ahead 2-0. AC Milan is in a deep crisis, and the 2-2 draw, against a team that fights for relegation can only make Stefano Pioli and the Rossoneri management reflect.
They were extremely satisfied with the victory against PSG in the Champions League, to the point that the game against Lecce seemed like an easy chapter. Right now Pioli is not at risk of being fired but his position is certainly under review to the point that exactly in 30 days, we may be able to assess his final balance.
TOUGH SCHEDULE – Upon returning from the international break, the 5 games that Pioli will face will be as challenging as they will be decisive.
Fiorentina, coming to San Siro on Saturday the 25th, will be the first test, decisive for the 4th place, but also for lingering title hopes. Then there will be the two even more important clashes against Borussia Dortmund at home (November 28) and Newcastle away (December 13), which will determine access to the Champions League knockout stage. And between these two games, the match against Frosinone (December 2) and the direct clash for the 4th place against Atalanta (December 9).
Pioli has these 30 days to make a difference, if things don’t improve in the league, and the club is not in the Champions League round of 16, then Pioli’s job will be in real, real danger. A dismissal at that point won’t be hard to image
