Stephen Pegs he is no longer the coach of Milan. The news was already in the air, but this morning it’s official. After five years, the Rossoneri will no longer be led by Pioli, Italian champion in 2022. Through their social channels, the club bid farewell to the coach, who made his debut against Lecce in the 2-2 draw on 21 October 2019, with a letter.
“Hi mister, I wanted to tell you that I remember everything about that day, when we went back up there. You and your boys on the roof of Italy, me and my backpack on the roof of a shelter, at the tram stop, with my heart beating fast. And I remember when everything began with you: I remember Bergamo, the rain with Rio Ave, the days of covid and a reborn Milan, the return to Europe and the one to our home, the Champions League.
With you we went back to attacking with courage, to playing to win, to getting angry when we didn’t, to cheering with pride. Rafa, Theo, Mike and all those guys who have become stronger men with you, because you passed on to them the values of this club and taught them how to face the challenges of the pitch and of life. You did it with passion, humility and dedication. For this, I simply wanted to say thank you. Every time my father attached the scarf to my backpack before picking me up on his shoulders to take me to San Siro, I had only imagined that moment. “We are Milan”, he told me, “and we will go back up there”. We did it, we went back to winning. And it was beautiful. After all, you taught us this…IT ONLY HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IT”
