The respect and affection will remain, regardless of how things went. And since there is, indeed, (mutual) respect and affection, Milan intends to greet Stefano Pioli properly. On Friday morning, the eve of the final match of the season against Salernitana (Saturday evening at San Siro), the Rossoneri club will officially communicate the end of the relationship with its current coach one year ahead of the contractual deadline.

A farewell probably different from the one that is usually arranged when a company changes technical management. Let’s say a more “heartfelt” farewell, based on Via Aldo Rossi’s gratitude towards a coach who concludes an unquestionably positive five-year period, net of a current season below expectations (and possibilities). The press release, from what has emerged, will not contain the word dismissal, a sign that the coach and club have evidently reached an agreement to say goodbye. In other words, the Parma coach will not remain on the club’s payroll. The timing of the official announcement is not random: the club, in doing so, will allow Pioli to say goodbye to San Siro without embarrassment and unfinished business. For the friendly against Roma in Australia (Perth) on May 31st the team should be entrusted to Bonera.
