Today the Milan communicated the choice of break up within a way consensualfrom Stephen Pegs. The coach will leave the AC Milan bench at the end of the season and will lead the team tomorrow San Siro for the last time.
The well-known journalist Xavier Jacobelli, in his speech to Sky Sport 24, comments on the choice of the Rossoneri club as follows: “The most appropriate adjective to describe this ending is: melancholic. Sad because in my opinion Pioli deserved to be confirmed. In his five years at the helm of Milan we can neither ignore nor diminish nor forget the excellent results he has achieved. I would like to remind you that when he arrived at the wheel he placed sixth. After that there was an irresistible rise that culminated with the nineteenth championship, the return to play in the Champions League after seven years, a Champions League semi-final… We are talking about the team second in the current championship table.
So I understand the desire and the feeling to change, but Gasperini proves it: the continuity of management like that of the Rossoneri, which is a young team and which championship after championship is destined to grow further, could only be confirmed in Stefano Pioli, who he is a coach whose style and sobriety I personally appreciate a lot. It is clear that this farewell is melancholy and certainly not wanted by the coach who, as we know, still had one year left on his contract. But the club has made this decision, I hope that on the occasion of the last match the Rossoneri fans can pay the coach the tribute he deserves.”
