  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Disgruntled Rossoneri supporters are ready to make their feelings known when it comes to the future of under-fire head coach Stefano Pioli. A change in the dugout at San Siro is expected this summer, but Milan’s most passionate fans are hoping to speed that process along.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Milan’s ultras have announced that they will be making no noise at Sunday’s home date with Genoa, while calling on the rest of those in attendance to do likewise. That could mean that United States internationals Pulisic and Musah, along with the rest of their club colleagues, end up playing in complete silence.

• WHAT ULTRAS SAID

  A statement released on the official Instagram account of Curva Sud Milano reads: “On Sunday against Genoa, Curva Sud Milan and AIMC won’t put up banners or wave flags and will refrain from any sort of support. We invite the rest of the crowd to join the protest whose only target is to encourage the club to continue the investment policy begun last summer, picking a coach who knows how to motivate the team and valorize young players, making appropriate signings to cover roles that were left exposed this season. Making decisions and names is not up to us, but the club must send a strong signal that they want to strengthen the project started last summer. Always with Milan in our hearts.”

  WHAT NEXT FOR MILAN?

  Fan protests on social media have already seen Milan distance themselves from a move for former Real Madrid and Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui, but whoever is at the helm next season – potentially with Pulisic and Musah at their disposal – will have Champions League football on the agenda as the Rossoneri look to confirm a runners-up finish in Serie A.
