Stefano Pioli’s role as AC Milan’s head coach is facing scrutiny, with fans clamoring for his departure. However, according to Luca Serafini, Milan should approach this situation cautiously before making any decisions.
The team has only secured two points in their last four league games, experiencing setbacks like losing a 2-0 lead against Napoli and Lecce. Tensions are high, especially among fans questioning Pioli’s leadership.
In his recent editorial for MilanNews, Luca Serafini argues that if Milan decides to part ways with Pioli, they must have a strong replacement lined up to avoid exacerbating the situation. Serafini emphasizes the importance of evaluating the relationship between the manager and the team, checking for trust, empathy, and a shared path.
Despite external pressure, Serafini suggests that the relationship between Pioli and the team appears intact, as evidenced by their recent performances. He urges the management to conduct a thorough investigation before making any decisions.
Serafini also emphasizes the significance of results in assessing the situation. He personally attributes the team’s inconsistent performance to injuries over the past few years. If a decision to sack Pioli is considered, Serafini insists on having a credible replacement in mind. Drawing on Napoli’s example, he highlights the importance of securing a manager who can genuinely improve the team.
As Milan prepares to face Fiorentina in a crucial game, Serafini stresses the need to address the team’s injury woes. The focus should be on finding solutions to enhance the team’s depth, making it clear that this should be the top priority for Pioli and his staff.
