They have passed five years, one Scudettothe return to Champions and a semi-final lost againstInter. A journey with the Rossoneri, that of the Emilian coach, who found an unexpected “boost” after the heavy defeat at home toAtalanta: that 5-0 on 22 December 2019 represented a historic collapse for Pioli, yet Milan was able to restart from there. The management took note of the failure of a technical project: they arrived IbrahimovicKjaer, Saelemaekers, Rebic found more and more space, Suso and Piatek left. From that moment a long ride would begin, which would lead Milan to win the championship: Pioli’s work will be remembered as one of the most long-lived in the history of the Devil. In total, 239 matches, 130 wins, 57 draws and 52 defeats.

I wish you all the best for your future.”
