(Reuters) - AC Milan's disappointing campaign has put Stefano Pioli under scrutiny, but he is fully concentrated on a positive end to the season despite speculation regarding his future and protesting fans, the manager said on Saturday.

Milan are second in the Serie A standings, but are 19 points adrift of champions Inter Milan, and their fans suffered witnessing their arch-rivals secure the Scudetto in the recent derby win at the San Siro.
