Giampaolo has been "sacked" by Milan, not officially but is done.
The made almost a dial with Spaletti (ex Inter) but they got some problems in the end.

Today they will have a meeting with Stefano Pioli.
Is almost sure that Milan will have a new coach after the break.

That's the right thing to do, their current manager is not giving good results to AC Milan and has already disappointed their fans. With the change of manager, hopefully there will be an achievement that AC Milan will get or at least they will be more competitive in Serie A to get the Serie A title.

So, we can say "Benvenuto" to Stefano Pioli. He was succeeded bring Juventus to be a winner of Serie-A and Intercontinental Cup in the past. I hope, he can bring AC Milan to the top in Italy and Europe as he did for Juventus.

I think AC Milan has come out of the title race the only suitable target for them is the CL & EL zone not for title.
There is something strange in the last few matches of AC Milan almost every game AC milan players get a red card

Whoever is chosen later to replace Marco Giampaolo, that is the best choice for AC Milan. And you are right, that this change is the best step taken by the AC Milan, because they can not wait any longer to be able to get up and return to compete with the positive path.

Too bad nobody took my little side bet.  Lol.  I see a lot of people getting more confident by talking up Inter lately.  Would be nice to back up the talk with a small, friendly bet.

Changing managers tends to do very little and it's my suggestion that they keep the manager for a little longer, they are yet to finish the first half of the season so I think it's too early when it comes to the talk of sacking the manager, things might change mid season.

Not really if the problem is, in fact, the tactical choices. Milan's problem is not as complicated as United in the Premier League. They need a better tactician and leaders in the dressing room to lift their mood. With United, they have to do better because the problem is too complicated and changing a manager because the bad result won't likely resolve that. They need a full rebuild. Milan has to avoid being in the same condition as United, and changing the manager or at least add an assistant to assist with the tactics should be a viable option.

More Italian press are talking about it

Take a look at emotional comments below twit .Worst abusive words possible in Italian language  
It looks like fans are not so much happy with Pioli like a new coach of his club

Pioli? LOL    Some bookies have AC Milan to get relegated @67 odds...Just saying, with Pioli as head coach, taking that bet is basically free money hahaha

So, no AC Milan is not wrong if Stefano Pioli officially handles AC Milan.

I don't think you know who Pioli is, he isn't any better than Giampaolo, Milan are making a huge mistake by appointing him as head coach.

Spaletti, Ranieri, Rudy Garcia, Allegri, etc, a lot of good options but they decide to go for Pioli...This is proof that AC Milan does not have the budget to hire a top-class manager right now, or their board are a bunch of incompetent fools.

THISSSS!! well said! Why AC Milan didn't sign Allegri  . at the beginning of this season they are in a bad situation, plus the sacking of giampaolo and replaced by Pioli. Just like Manchester United right now, AC Milan is in the wrong hands. why don't they see their neighbors who were successfully managed by the managers who have good experience in series A?

The situation at Milan is very similar to Man Utd, both fallen giants so far away from their glory days. Football goes in cycles though, I’m confident they’ll both return to glory one day. It might take 10-15 years but they’ll both be back.

And you know, the situation for Milan is worse than just defeats. Milan has lost 4 of 7 matches this season. But to make the situation worse, Milan players have got 5 red cards in last 5 matches! This clearly shows how frustrated the team is right now. On the top of that, Milan is banned from playing Europa League. So even being at number 5 in table last season, Milan is not playing EL. Overall, Milan is looking like lost cause even worse than ManU.

A very long time to rise. I just realized that it is true that AC Milan and Manchester United are in a similar situation. Losing identity, even the bottom-tier team can win against them.

And it's also true what @SummerBliss said that AC Milan could indeed be said to be worse.

And a good opportunity will come on Week 8. When AC Milan fight bottom-up Lecce, it's a good chance to get points back.

Well that sucks I didn't really expect that Marco Giampaolo will get the axe this early in the season and even if he did I was hoping for Spalletti for be the one to replace him but what do we get? A guy who is managing another troubled team which is Stefano Pioli. I really didn't get the logic out of this one especially when Spalletti was just waiting for Inter's approval to officially sign with Milan. This was really a mistake and I really have tiny bit of hope that this Pioli guy could turn some things around, if he don't then I know that the only solution for Milan and Elliot Management is rebuilding the team from ground up. Oh and to make this news worst for Milan fans Silvio Berlusconi has been part of the decision on sacking Giampaolo, even if he doesn't own the team anymore he still finds ways of ruining it.

The difference is that ManU even if is not on the top still makes a lot of money.
Milan after Berlusconi Era can't make money.

Anyway Giampaolo sacked, https://www.acmilan.com/it/news/media/2019-10-08/comunicato-ufficiale-marco-giampaolo

Tomorrow we will know the new coach.

I just saw the official news through AC Milan's Twitter about Gimpaolo. Milan must get a coach who has experience in managing a team and also achievers, Rumors circulating in the media about strong candidates for replacing Gimpaolo are Stepano Pioli, Arsene Wenger and Luciano Spalleti. Of the 3 names, who are the club's choices and understand about AC Milan's current problems?

[masulum]

Milan fans rejected Pioli, i think if ex AC Milan players such as Maldini and Leonardo rejected him too, maybe very possible for AC Milan canceled sign contract for Pioli. Media says, Rudi Garcia and Marcelino still on Radars.

what is the main reason fans of Milan refuse Pioli? and do you have a source of information to strengthen it? I think if there really is a logical reason then it might be deleted from the candidate. I just heard 2 names from you that they are also candidates, it would be better if AC Milan get an experienced coach in Serie A.

I think we're seeing the end of an era with this two teams, AC Milan have been elusive when the big teams compete for trophies for so many years now, United now are following that same trend with the years going by.

When a team falls from glory, it's very difficult to rise again, check all the teams this has happened to, while they are struggling to get back to the elite, the other top teams and getting stronger and stronger and drifting farther away from their level, just look at City and man.u for instance, city are miles away from united at the moment and it looks impossible for the gap to be closed.
But since city closed theirs when they were doing the chasing years back, united can likewise bounce back.
