According to CBS’ Serie A expert Matteo Bonetti, Stefano Pioli and Milan should part ways by the season’s end. Bonetti proposes Roberto De Zerbi as a potential replacement for the Rossoneri.

Following a 3-2 defeat against Atalanta, Milan now trail Serie A leaders Inter by nine points. Additionally, their Champions League hopes rely on a win against Newcastle coupled with Borussia Dortmund’s victory over PSG, a situation that seems to edge them toward elimination from the group stage.

Pioli faces intense scrutiny, with numerous Milan fans demanding his dismissal on social media. However, despite this outcry, Matteo Bonetti from CBS suggests that the Italian manager should continue in his role until the season concludes.

Bonetti regards Brighton manager De Zerbi as an ideal prospect for the Serie A giants, despite De Zerbi indicating recent talks about extending his tenure with Sassuolo.
