Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Italian pundit Fabrizio Ponciroli has slammed AC Milan manager, Stefano Pioli, for the way he is handling of Nigeria international, Samuel Chukwueze.
Chukwueze moved to AC Milan from Villarreal last summer for a fee that could rise to 28 million.
He had a difficult start to his career in the Serie A but appears to have started to show his qualities since the middle of last month.
For this reason, fans of the club, who want to watch the player play every game are not happy seeing him wasting away on the bench.
The winger has started just four of the 14 matches played by the club since the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations ended.
Pioli still prefers Christian Pulisic in the right wing role.
But Ponciroli wants Pioli to tweak his formation to accommodate Chukwueze in the starting lineup.
“I don’t know what Pioli sees in Musah, there’s Chukwueze in good condition and I don’t know why he never plays.
“I think Pioli has lost control of the situation. He was certainly convinced of these choices, it’s true that talking about them later is easier, but from before I already considered these choices to be wrong.”
