<p>With less than six months remaining until the <strong>2026 FIFA World Cup</strong>, <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/carlo-ancelotti/">Carlo Ancelotti</a></strong> could lose one of his collaborators on the <strong>Brazil</strong> national team staff due to a potential offer from a <strong>Serie A</strong> club.</p>



<p>With just one win in 16 matches in the Italian league, <strong>Pisa</strong> are experiencing a disappointing 2025–26 season. They sit second-to-last in the standings with 11 points, in the relegation zone, sparking heavy criticism of head coach <strong>Alberto Gilardino.</strong></p>



<p><em><strong>“<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/pisa/">Pisa</a> have already moved forward and are working on a succession plan,” </strong></em>reported <em>La Gazzetta dello Sport</em> on Tuesday. <em>“With a decidedly original idea: <strong>giving young Davide Ancelotti</strong>, Carlo’s son and fresh from his first experience as head coach with Botafogo in Brazil, <strong>his Italian debut</strong>.”</em></p>



<p>Although Davide has limited experience leading a team, his background—and lineage—make him an attractive option. <em>“The usual names of coaches awaiting appointments have been explored but haven’t particularly excited the owners,” </em>the Italian outlet explained. <em><strong>“The opportunity to bring in a big name like Ancelotti Jr., who grew up in his father’s shadow and is now embarking on a personal career, had a very different effect.”</strong></em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20251223_WST_611642_davide-ancelotti-real-madrid-1200x675_caafa309.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="" class="wp-image-578455" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure><figcaption>Italian coach Davide Ancelotti.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Davide Ancelotti’s departure would be a problem for Carlo Ancelotti</h2>



<p>If the reports from Italy come true, this would be a significant loss for Carlo Ancelotti. His son is part of the staff and, especially since leaving <strong>Botafogo </strong>at the end of the 2025 season, <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/brazil-coach-carlo-ancelotti-to-be-handed-key-boost-ahead-of-2026-fifa-world-cup/">has reportedly taken a much more active role in supporting his father</a></strong>.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="WST#/news/santos-provide-injury-update-on-neymar-after-knee-surgery-when-will-the-brazil-star-return/"></div>


<p>With the <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/world-cup/">World Cup</a></strong> approaching, every bit of support is welcome, given the enormous task ahead: turning around years of disappointing results and positioning Brazil again as one of the favorites to win the title, alongside <strong>Argentina, Spain, </strong>and <strong>France.</strong></p>



<h2>Davide Ancelotti’s only head coaching experience</h2>



<p>After nearly a decade working alongside his father at clubs like <strong>Bayern Munich, Everton, </strong>and <strong>Real Madrid</strong>, Davide launched his career as a head coach this year. The opportunity came with an offer from Botafogo in <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/brazil/">Brazil</a></strong>, who hired him in July to take charge of the team, then reigning <strong>Copa Libertadores</strong> champions.</p>



<p>While the Brazilian side under Ancelotti had acceptable results—15 wins, 11 draws, and 7 losses, with a 45.5% win rate—the early Copa Libertadores exit was a decisive blow to his tenure. Once the season ended, the club decided to part ways with the Italian coach.</p>

<p>When&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/christian-pulisic/">Christian Pulisic</a></strong>’s name didn’t appear on Milan’s team sheet ahead of its&nbsp;<strong>Serie A clash with Pisa</strong>, fans were left puzzled. After all, the American forward has been one of their most consistent performers since the start of the campaign. Yet, as the Rossoneri prepare to host the newly-promoted Tuscan side at the San Siro, one of its brightest stars is nowhere to be seen.</p>



<p>For <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/ac-milan/">Milan</a>, the task seems simple on paper —&nbsp;<strong>first place versus last</strong>. But without Pulisic, the team’s dynamic in attack is set to be tested. The Rossoneri enter the eighth round of Serie A&nbsp;<strong>sitting at the top with 16 points</strong>, just ahead of&nbsp;<strong>Inter, Napoli, and Roma</strong>. A victory against Pisa would temporarily give&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/massimiliano-allegri/">Massimiliano Allegri</a>’s</strong>&nbsp;men a four-point cushion before the weekend’s heavyweight clashes.</p>



<p>For the Pisa clash, Allegri named a rotated side. With&nbsp;<strong>Christopher Nkunku</strong>&nbsp;only fit enough for the bench, and&nbsp;<strong>Ruben Loftus-Cheek</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Pervis Estupinan</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Adrien Rabiot</strong>&nbsp;still unavailable, the manager had to rely on young players like&nbsp;<strong>Samuele Ricci</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Davide Bartesaghi</strong>&nbsp;to fill the gaps. But the big question lingers:&nbsp;<em>why isn’t Christian Pulisic playing?</em></p>



<h2>The reason for Pulisic’s absence revealed</h2>



<p>As reported by the club,&nbsp;<strong>Pulisic suffered a low-grade tear in his right hamstring while on international duty with the United States</strong>. The incident occurred during a friendly against Australia, where he felt discomfort and was forced off early.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20251024_WST_599073_pulisic-usmnt-injury-1200x675_bc07ead5.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="pulisic usmnt injury" class="wp-image-597520" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure><figcaption>Christian Pulisic of the United States leaves the game after picking up an injury vs Australia.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Italian side confirmed the diagnosis after an&nbsp;<strong>MRI scan</strong>, noting that he would be&nbsp;<strong>re-evaluated in approximately 10 days</strong>. The expected recovery window is around&nbsp;<strong>three weeks</strong>, which rules him out not only for the Pisa game but also for the next few Serie A fixtures. In fact, manager Allegri has already resigned himself to being without the winger until after the next international break.&nbsp;</p>



<p><em>“It’s highly unlikely he’ll be back before November,”</em>&nbsp;the coach admitted. The club’s cautious approach reflects a desire to&nbsp;<strong>avoid aggravating the injury</strong>, knowing that a premature return could lead to a longer absence.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="WST#/news/milan-faces-serie-a-penalty-taker-dilemma-without-christian-pulisic-will-it-be-santiago-gimenez-luka-modric-or-someone-else/"></div>


<h2>When could Pulisic return?</h2>



<p>The most optimistic timeline suggests that&nbsp;<strong>Pulisic could make his comeback against Parma on November 8, or eventually in time for the derby against Inter on November 23</strong>, a match that could have major implications for the title race. For now, Milan’s medical staff are prioritizing rest and controlled recovery.</p>



<p>The 27-year-old USMNT star’s absence leaves a void, not just in performance but also in mentality. His influence on and off the pitch has been clear since joining from Chelsea, helping the Red and Blacks blend experience with intensity in attack.</p>

<h2>Match Overview</h2>



<p>Matchday 8 kicks off with a high-stakes showdown as <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/serie-a/">Serie A</a></strong> leaders, <strong>AC Milan</strong>, aim to extend their dominant run against bottom-placed <strong>Pisa</strong>. <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/ac-milan/">Milan</a> </strong>enter the contest riding the momentum of a strong Matchday 7 performance that kept them atop the standings.</p>



<p>The <em>Rossoneri </em>will look to secure another win to solidify their position. <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/pisa/">Pisa</a></strong>, on the other hand, are desperate for points as they look to climb out of the relegation zone in what promises to be a battle between two teams fighting for very different goals.</p>

How to watch AC Milan vs Pisa in the USA: Live Stream and TV for 2025/2026 Serie A

How to watch AC Milan vs Pisa in the USA: Live Stream and TV for 2025/2026 Serie A - World Soccer Talk

<p>San Siro will once again be the stage where&nbsp;<strong>Massimiliano Allegri’s</strong>&nbsp;red-hot&nbsp;<strong>Milan</strong>&nbsp;looks to consolidate its grip at the top of&nbsp;<strong>Serie A</strong>. The Rossoneri, unbeaten in seven matches, welcome struggling&nbsp;<strong>Pisa</strong>, and while&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/christian-pulisic/">Christian Pulisic</a></strong>’s injury absence is a blow, Allegri still has decisions to make — particularly over veterans like&nbsp;<strong>Luka Modric</strong>&nbsp;and forward&nbsp;<strong>Santiago Gimenez</strong>, whose potential inclusion has been the talk of the city.</p>



<p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/ac-milan/">Milan</a>’s recent 2-1 win over Fiorentina was more than just another three points — it marked the club’s&nbsp;<strong>return to the Serie A summit</strong>, reclaiming first place&nbsp;<strong>743 days</strong>&nbsp;after its last stint as leader. But with great momentum comes danger. Winning against Pisa, especially as the opening fixture of the weekend, would allow the Rossoneri to apply early pressure on rivals&nbsp;<strong>Inter, Napoli, and Roma</strong>.</p>



<p>The upcoming fixture also represents a logistical puzzle for coach <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/massimiliano-allegri/">Allegri</a>. Milan’s injury list remains long, with&nbsp;<strong>Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan, Ardon Jashari,</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Ruben Loftus-Cheek</strong>&nbsp;all unavailable.</p>



<p><strong><em>Sky Italia</em></strong>&nbsp;reported that Loftus-Cheek, still nursing a muscle issue, will not feature, while Estupinan continues individual therapy after an ankle injury sustained on international duty. In better news,&nbsp;<strong>Christopher Nkunku</strong>&nbsp;has returned to full training and is expected to be on the bench.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🗣 Allegri’s thoughts ahead of Pisa:<br><br>🎯 The opponents <br>📈 Expectations <br>🔥 The fans <a href="https://t.co/3qxtupw5GO">pic.twitter.com/3qxtupw5GO</a></p>— AC Milan (@acmilan) <a href="https://twitter.com/acmilan/status/1981352081433747891?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 23, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



<p>For&nbsp;<strong>Alberto Gilardino’s Pisa</strong>, the task at San Siro looks monumental. The Tuscan side are bottom of the table with just&nbsp;<strong>three points and three goals</strong>&nbsp;— their worst-ever start in Serie A. Their last match, a goalless draw with Verona, summed up their struggles: solid in defense, blunt in attack. Pisa has faced Milan&nbsp;<strong>12 times</strong>&nbsp;in Serie A history, losing 10 and drawing two. The Nerazzurri&nbsp;have failed to score in nine of those encounters.</p>



<h2>Modric and Gimenez decisions loom large</h2>



<p>And here lies the central question:&nbsp;<strong>Will Allegri start Luka Modric and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/santiago-gimenez/">Santiago Gimenez</a>?</strong> After weeks of speculation, both will play a pivotal role against Pisa. <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/luka-modric/">Modric</a>, 40, has been a revelation since his summer move, dictating the midfield tempo with the calm precision only he can provide. His partnership with&nbsp;<strong>Youssouf Fofana</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Samuele Ricci</strong>&nbsp;gives Milan a balance of experience and energy.</p>



<p>Up front,&nbsp;<strong>Santiago Gimenez</strong>&nbsp;continues to grow in importance. With Pulisic sidelined, the Argentine-born Mexican striker willa agin lead the line alongside&nbsp;<strong>Rafael Leao</strong>, who rediscovered his scoring touch with a brace against Fiorentina.</p>

<p>Italy is a country that has something to offer for everyone – from the stunning art and architecture of the cities, to the relaxed way of life and delicious cuisine. In March, I had the pleasure of visiting some of the most beautiful cities in Italy, including Rome, Florence, Venice, Pisa and Milan, and each city had its own unique charm.</p>



<p>One of the most memorable experiences of my trip was seeing the ancient buildings and architecture. What sets Italy apart from other countries when it comes to history is how many ancient buildings are still standing. Unlike other places in Europe, such as England and Germany, where many historic buildings were damaged or destroyed during World War II, Italy has managed to preserve much of its heritage. Walking through the streets of Rome, Florence, Venice, Pisa and Milan, it felt like I was going back in time. The cobbled streets and ancient buildings were stunning, and I felt completely safe walking through them.</p>



<h2>Traveling through Italy felt like going back in time</h2>



<p>The Italian culture is also quite unique. The way of life is more relaxed than what you would experience in other countries in Europe. Shops often close early or are closed in the mid-afternoon, and people seem to prioritize family time and their health above other things. This is something I found very refreshing. It was also interesting to see how different parts of Italy had different cultural customs.</p>



<p>Of course, no trip to Italy is complete without trying the food. Italian cuisine is famous around the world, and for good reason. We tried several different dishes during our travels, but our favorite by far was gelato. The taste and creaminess of the gelato was far superior to ice cream, and the pistachio with ricotta cheese flavor was an unexpected delight. We also enjoyed picking up fresh produce from local markets and cooking meals in our Airbnb, as well as drinking fantastic, inexpensive Italian wine.</p>



<p>Using a lot of the travel tips from our free <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/european-soccer-travel-guide/">European Travel Guide</a>, traveling within Italy was also a breeze, thanks to the high-speed trains that run throughout the country. We settled in Florence as our home base and took day trips to other cities via train. The trains were very comfortable, efficient, and reasonably priced. It allowed us to relax on the train ahead of visiting new cities and to experience more of the beautiful Italian countryside. It also helped that the high speed trains had a top speed of 186mph, making long journeys far more preferable by train instead of car.</p>

<p>While we visited some of the most well-known cities in Italy, there were still many other places we would have liked to see. Bologna, Sicily, Siena and the Tuscan countryside were on our list of places we didn’t have time for during this trip. We hope to come back to Italy someday and experience more of its beauty.</p>



<p>While we didn’t get a chance to go see any <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/serie-a-tv-schedule/">Serie A</a> games in person, this trip gave me the confidence in knowing that it’s so easy to travel from city to city. Several airlines offer <a href="https://www.flightconnections.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">direct flights</a> from the United States to Italy every day.</p>



<p>In conclusion, traveling through Italy was a unique experience. The ancient architecture, relaxed way of life, delicious food, and efficient transportation system made for an unforgettable trip. If you’re looking for a country with rich history, stunning art and architecture, and a unique culture, then Italy is definitely worth a visit.</p>
