Pioli focused on Genoa amid talk of his dismissal
AC Milan's disappointing season has put Stefano Pioli under scrutiny but his full concentration remains on a positive end to the term.
The Rossoneri are second in Serie A but 19 points adrift of champion Inter Milan, and their fans suffered witnessing their fierce rival secure the Scudetto in the recent derby win at San Siro.
That has only increased media reports about Pioli's dismissal once the season ends, with fans also protesting at the situation Milan faces.
"My task shouldn't be complicated, there are four games left," Pioli said ahead of Milan's home game against Genoa on Monday (AEST).
"It's true that outside they talk about everything except the games, but not us. We have a great sense of responsibility. Then we'll see what the future is at the end of the season."
Some Italian reports have suggested Pioli could move to Napoli, although the Milan head coach refuted those claims.
"No thoughts, other than the next four games. At the end of the season, I'll meet with Milan and we'll see what to do," Pioli said.
"You've waited a long time, wait a little longer to talk about the future, the work is not done. The reality is I have another year on my contract with Milan and I won't speak to any other club while I'm under contract."
The atmosphere is tense around the club, and Milan ultras have announced they will not support the team against Genoa, remaining in silence without any banners or flags, as a form of protest against the owners.
"Our fans have always been an added value, especially in difficult moments. And I don't forget it," Pioli continued.
"They have taken this position and we respect it, then we have to do everything to win the game."
Milan has a five-point lead over Juventus in third and Genoa is 12th on 42 points, moving out of relegation danger.
