Throughout the season, Pioli has overcome several threats to his job and has been stronger each time. However, when given the setback of the first loss to AS Roma in the Europa League, he and his squad did not respond appropriately, leaving his future hanging in the balance.

However, the Diavolo could try a late swoop for Thiago Motta, who has reportedly been in advanced talks with Juventus recently. Today, his agent, Dario Canovi, spoke to TMW (via Milan News 24) about his client’s future.
Will Allegri move away from Juventus?
“It seems to me that the hints are there that he may change. There are too many rumours saying this and usually in football when rumours are repeated they are quite true. But if Juventus win the Coppa Italia and go on to the Champions League it will be difficult to change that.”
A quality of Thiago Motta?
“A quality of Thiago Motta? Convincing his players that his ideas are the right ones.”
