Ibrahimovic is the main candidate for Milan’s bench if Pioli is sacked
The defeat in Bergamo brought Stefano Pioli even closer to exiting Milan, with La Repubblica revealing that if Newcastle fail, it is possible that the Abate-Ibrahimovic duo will succeed him on the bench.
Milan started this season strongly, battling with Inter for the top spot in Serie A, but have been in a free fall of late that has pushed them off the top spot.
The most recent setback was their failure in Bergamo, with a 3-2 defeat to Atalanta that came with a 95th-minute goal, with the Rossoneri now -9 behind leaders and compatriots Inter and -7 behind second-placed Juventus. Rating lies.
This fact, combined with last time’s poor performances, has put a strain on the atmosphere for Stefanos Pioli and the upcoming away game against Newcastle for the Champions League group stage final has taken on the character of a final for the team. .. of survival for the trainer.
In fact, according to a report from La Repubblica, if England lose, the prevailing scenario is that there will be a coaching change, with the club’s managers having the Ibrahimovic-Abate duo in mind as a solution to a succession situation.
The experienced Swedish striker, who hung up his boots at the end of last season, was earmarked as a management consultant, but the Milanese now see him as a good candidate for a coaching duo alongside Ignacio Abate, whom he does great as a coach in the club’s youth team (Primavera).
The two men are no strangers to each other, having been teammates at Milan during Ibra’s first spell with the Milanese and have maintained a close friendship off the pitch ever since.
