AC Milan suffered an unfortunate defeat at the feet of Udinese in a fierce league match, with only one win and three losses in four consecutive matches. Currently, they are at the bottom of the UEFA Europa League group stage, and in the Serie A, they are 6 points behind Inter Milan, who are at the top of the table. According to the Italian media, AC Milan are considering taking action against coach Pioli, and have even locked up two top names in Dryland and Moleno as potential successors.
AC Milan's recent form has been worrying and Coach Pioli is under tremendous pressure. Rumor has it that the club's top brass have shaken their confidence in him. In fact, if Juventus hadn't been deducted points last season, AC Milan's UEFA Europa League qualification would have been lost, and so would Pioli's position. Now that the "Red and Black Army" is once again in the doldrums, rumors are swirling that they will probably make a change in personnel. Journalist Longo even hinted that the next UEFA Europa League match could be decisive for Paris Saint-Germain: "Pioli has written brilliantly for AC Milan, and he will always be remembered, but this cycle seems to have come to an end, and after the UEFA Europa League there could be a new chapter."
