Pioli’s numbers
—
Tomorrow against Salernitana will be Stefano Pioli’s 240th and last match as AC Milan coach. A story that began on 9 October 2019, when the coach took over from Giampaolo, leading a Milan in difficulty to perhaps the most unexpected Scudetto in Rossoneri history. Pioli will finish with an average of points and very important placings: this season they will be second in Serie A, with an average of 2 points per game (missing the match against Salernitana). In 2022-23 he finished in fourth place with an average of 1.84 points per game. The previous season was the Scudetto: average points of 2.26 per game. In 2020-21 he finished second place with 2.08 points on average. His first year at Milan he finished in sixth place, with 1.84 points on average (data-transfermarkt.it). Memorable matches and successes, important goals: Stefano Pioli brought Milan back to the Champions League after difficult years chasing a place in Europe. All then closed with the pearl: that Scudetto which for many remains the most unthinkable and beautiful in Milan’s history.
Milan, the negative sides of Pioli’s management
—
After the comeback suffered last season at home against Roma, Pioli’s Milan lost gear a bit with performances that were hard to accept. Among the negative sides of the now ex-coach’s management should be noted the injuries, too many, and the derbies lost against Inter. Two wounds which, however, must not take our eyes off the wonderful work done by Pioli in recent seasons. After Saturday evening there will be time to look beyond, but Pioli’s era should be hailed as it deserves. READ ALSO: Milan, Pioli out and Fonseca in. Background on Conte.
