Stefano Pioli will become the 8th coach of Milan since 2014, as Marco Giampaolo was sacked earlier this morning.
Marco Giampaolo’s time at Milan is over, and only the official announcement is missing. After three months full of miserable performances and no improvement, the club decided to part ways with the former Sampdoria boss.
Luciano Spalletti appeared to be in pole position for the position of Giampaolo, who according to Milannews.it was told by the club earlier this morning that he’s relieved of his duties, but the problems with his contract at Inter are unbridgeable as he wants them to pay him the salaries he’s owed until June 2020, while they’re willing to pay until December.
As a result, Milan have turned their intentions towards Stefano Pioli. According to Gianluca Di Marzio and Milannews.it, everything is now set for Pioli to arrive. There will be a meeting later on Tuesday between the parties to close everything and Pioli will have his first session at Milanello tomorrow.
Pioli is a much cheaper option than Spalletti and it remains to be seen how much he will earn and how long his contract will be. In any case, he is set to become the 8th coach since Massimiliano Allegri was sacked in 2014, after Clarence Seedorf, Filippo Inzaghi, Siniša Mihajlović, Cristian Brocchi, Vincenzo Montella, Gennaro Gattuso and of course Marco Giampaolo.
Pioli was also wanted by 20th-placed Sampdoria and 19th-placed Genoa but he has chosen Milan. The 53-year-old has no experience in big clubs except for a short spell at Inter from December 2016 to May 2017. Inter had won 12 of the first 16 Serie A matches that Pioli was in charge of, but this was followed by two draws and five losses in their last seven Serie A matches prior to his sacking.
Pioli is expected to favor a 4-3-3 formation. He previously worked with Lucas Biglia at Lazio and La Gazzetta dello Sport expects him to pick the Argentine over Ismaël Bennacer for the regista role.
Oh Maldini and Boban what have you done? Not Pioli FFS
But i blame Elliott its them that refuse to invest in a proper coach
this is very peculiar decision to say the least, as pioli is not better than Giampaolo. Spaletti made sense due to his tactical flexibility and ability to obtain results, gattuso also made sense as he did much better job with weaker squad last year and he is one of our own. Alternatively, we could have opted to spend more and go for world class elite coach like wenger or mourinho both of whom are out of job. Instead we opted for Pioli who couldnt hold a job with a mid-table. I have upmost respect for Maldini and Boban but at… Read more »
It keeps getting worse. Will this nightmare ever stop?
From fry pan to fire. I never knew Milan is so cheap. I am backing off. May when things better I might come back
“The 53-year-old has taken charge of 310 games in Serie A across spells with Parma, Chievo, Bologna, Lazio, Inter and Fiorentina, winning 109 games, losing 112 and drawing 89.” The future sounds great! :(
You summed it up perfectly well. To save the heart breaks and pain, Milan fans should forget the party and go home. It is clear that the Management don’t want to qualify for the CL. The season is over for Milan already. Lets just wait till Pioli gets fired in January. Then the fans can be hopeful again. Mark my words because I told you so.
With all due respect to Pioli, I think he is considered more as a caretaker – contrary to Spalletti. Of course if he dazzles us he will continue and that’s fair. But it looks like a solution until summer when you can chase much bigger names (Allegri, Wenger, Pochettino etc.) – and let them build the team as they prefer. It won’t be easy to tempt any of them of course, but if we have any chance, it’s only in the summer. If this is the masterplan, I am ok with him. Of course this would mean another lost season… Read more »
It’s a two years deal!
It seems this is not certain, other media report 1 year contract. Let’s see.
In any case, as it stands, another 2 “zero” years are ahead of us…
hahaha wellcome to (serie b) milan is a amatuar club no good diractor no good managment nood good coach all are averrages
#ElliottOut
Welcome to my nightmare ̶A̶l̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶C̶o̶o̶p̶e̶r̶ AC Milan… After supporting Milan for 30 years i would mean i have seen it all both in good and bad… but apparently not. This choice by the management is baffling to say the least. Only positive i can think of in this apparent hirring of Pioli is that we might continue playing badly and by that choice of coach may force the ownership to realize they need to break the bank in january to get us out of this downfall. Anyways regardless of my previous comment i hope he will succeed but i… Read more »
Giaompaolo is not that great coach we hoped he would be. But he is definetely better than this joke ! I don’t know if spaletti is a good option since he has some serious problems that inter fans kept talking about last year. Marcelino ( ex Valencia ) might me our best option because he is the one that put Valencia back on track , but for some reason they want only an Italian , for no freaking reason. Apart from Ancelotti , Conte , Allegri and Sarri, probably every other italian coach proved himself to be mediocre or good… Read more »
Sppaleti should have been the minimum we go for to replace Giampaolo, he is not on Conte level but hi is much better than anything we had so far, he brought Inter back in CL, his record is preaty good. Aside from that Inter need to pay him around 15mil until 2021, he only asked for 5mil now to break the deal so he can join Milan. Ofcourse Inter managment is smart and not like ours so they refused and they will rather pay more until 2021 rather than letting him go to Milan and becoming a comppetition to them,… Read more »
Gasperini is good, CL breakdown is only due to lack of experience which many call the CL spirit possessed by only a few football clubs even among the elite ones
Oh my God, what the shit is going on here???
I myself 100% disagree with appointing Pioli! Why not Donadoni???
The f=cking board is destroying my team, maybe they do better than the stupid Chinese!
Its like our management is trying so hard to destroy the team i dont get it, this is out of any common sense.
Oh my God. What is this
All I can see hear is confusion from the management I strongly believe they don’t know what they are doing is just a guess and a gamble work formula they are imputing to this squad if it’s gonna work I cry for this team if the statistics of this new coach is poor and as never coached any new club successfully why bring him we looking for a way forward and we have management that are retarded the future if Milan are in God hands
What a disaster. It’s time for Elliot to sell the club and get rid of Gazidis, Maldini and Boban. Spalletti appointment made sense but to sign Pioli on a 2yr deal? Bizarre. Smh These cheap bastards have no intentions of rebuilding Milan. It is just another opportunity to make money. What else could we expect from a vulture fund. Disgusting! Milan need real owners and real directors. This is a nightmare shit show at Milan. Now I can clearly see Milan vision and it’s not what we expected. I really hope that Milan fans DON’T attend any more of the… Read more »
Why maldini and Boban on mission to destroy this great team,on average of all small coaches listed the one that was sacked by all teams he has worked with except one team is our own option only because is an Italian,no wonder Rhino give condition,I will always prefer Rhino if we can’t hire high caliber coach,with those low profile footballers last season we are one point away from UCL I know with addition of these new guys he would have built on that,why can’t they give Spaletti till mid week since there is FIFA break,I think all Milanisti should zero… Read more »
So much talk from Gazidis and Scaroni about bringing Milan back to where it belongs, utter rubbish. Ever year different promises from Berlusconi to Yonghong and now Elliot. They are tossing this club around worse then a back alley hooker.
#PioliOut
Is it not better to swallow our pride and call Gattuso back ?
Supporting this club has been an emotional torture to me personally. The players don’t fail to ruin every weekend, and now the management is in a mission to confirm we have officially become a mid tier club. When other top clubs are leading the league with Sarri, Conte, Ancelotti, we are fighting to sign a manager who is also wanted by other teams who are trying not to get relegated. I don’t know what to say.
Milan fans must stop being arogant. They tryed with spaletti. Its not possible beacuse of inter, also he wants 5m pr seasson. Mourinhio and wenger is not possible, they will command 10M salleries and wont take over a damaged side. Gattuso just got sacked, there is poiolo left. He will have to do as caretaker. The seasson is already over. The problem is not the coaches its the club. The signings its absured the risk we take…. – Bonucci, Rodrigez, Musachio, Chanalogulu, Suso, Piatek, Castilejo Basicly 200million down the toilet. They buy again and get bench warmers and young prospect.… Read more »
There are reports that Gazidis wanted to we go for Marcelihno but Maldini didn’t wanted him
Spalletti wanted 5m. Milan agreed to giving him 5m per season. The problem was his severance pay from inter. He wanted his entire year severance of 5m, inter only wanted to pay 3.5.
Milan wanted to make a decision quickly which is why they unfortunately turned to Pioli as they didn’t want to waste time with Spalletti negotiations with Inter.
Maldini and Boban are making some poor decisions which is showing their inexperience in their roles.
We will change coaches again by next summer. Guaranteed.
Possibly change coach again by January…
If Milan was a serious club they would simply pay the remaning 1.5mil to Spaletti in order to get him of his Inter contract, Chelsea payed 8mil to Napoli to get Sarri thats how its done. Eliot is so cheap that they dont even want to spend 1.5mil and they say they will bring Milan back to the top, what a joke. Also Spaletti lowered his sallary for Milan to 4.5 i dont know what more our managment wants, no one will work for free so Eliot can exploit them to fill his pockets.
@Rossi….Totally agree. These cheap bastards don’t want to spend money. I have a strong feeling that’s why we went for Giampaolo in the first place because Spalletti was available this summer once Conte was appointed. But they decided to go for Giampaolo who has never finished above 9th place yet we expect to qualify for UCL with a coach that finished below us.
I was naive to think Giampaolo was good enough to do the job but I’m definitely not naive to know that Pioli is even worst or just as bad as Giampaolo.
bunch of inglorious amateur bastards running our club :(
First of all, we are four points of fourth and six points of third position, the season is not over.
And maybe they shouldn’t have sacked Giampaolo without a credible alternative lined-up. Pioli looks like a step down. I hope a succeeds (or at least doesn’t wreck us completely).
Our signings have been absurd I’ll give you that, and also that the coaches haven’t been the only problem. But it is the same dysfunctional decision making that gets us shitty players, hires shitty coaches and sacks a coach after seven matches without a credible replacement.
Much worse managerial stats than i actually ever imagined Salernitana 1 July 2003 10 June 2004 51 16 14 21 31.37 % Modena 15 June 2004 22 January 2006 71 25 27 19 35.21 % Modena 8 February 2006 5 June 2006 16 10 5 1 62.50 % Parma 5 June 2006 12 February 2007 32 9 7 16 28.13 % Grosseto 11 September 2007 11 June 2008 39 10 19 10 25.64 % Piacenza 11 June 2008 5 June 2009 43 14 13 16 32.56 % Sassuolo 12 June 2009 9 June 2010 47 20 16 11 42.55 %… Read more »
This team has totally lost the plot. How in the world do u sack giampaolo after 7 games and go for pioli. This management seriously doesn’t have a clue. Maldini, this team is in shambles and you have pressed the self destruct button. What makes pioli any better than giampaolo? He’s just a cheap panic buy. I’ve now lost all hope for this season and actually feel bad for giampaolo jow. At the beginning of season they said it’s important to know that things won’t be changed over night and we have to let giampaolo work. So after 7 games… Read more »
This whole thing looks like a carefully orchestrated plot to destroy Milan as a football club. The first step was frustrate Berlusconi, so he is forced to sell. Everything afterwards has been some charade. The Elliot fun was definitely behind the Chinese take over. They just pretended as if they came to the rescue because the Chinese defaulted in paying his debt.
Hmmm
Went to bed thinking spaletti would sign. Woke up to pioli. Oh how the mighty have fallen. That seems to be the trend lately.. Correa, sensi, barella, depay, torreira. When you think about it, milan didn’t get a single player giampaolo requested. We didn’t give him the time that was promised.
Now we sack him for a the worst coach we can possibly get. WENGER is hungry to come back and he can actually do something with this team man.
We gave him Bennacer as requested, another striker as requested, an alternative for Correa(Rebic), improved the LB there’s is no excuse for him to fail this bad
These players you mention are all alternatives to the actual players he wanted. Torreira was the target. The striker was Correa. He also wanted sensi or barella, how did that turn out
you can’t always get want but when you at least get similar players you should’t complain
Finally this appointment confirmed to me that this management only wants to hire people they can control. This is pretty bad for Milan because I have been screaming for years now that unless this management stops hiring coaches they want to control, we’re not going anywhere. Mourinho, wenger, Marcelino, Spaletti, hell even Capelo was available (lol) and we end up with this clown??. it’s year zero again ladies and gentlemen. hope yall enjoy the ride.
Why would Capello want to ruin his reputation to join a mediocre and messy low/mid table club without a proper and stable owner? No top coaches would do that! Remember even Ancelotti rejected to join the club that made him what he is today.
Spaletti couldn’t come because he and Inter are not able to reach an agreement to end his contract in a suitable financial term.
Lol me posting 3 times in an hour just shows how upset I am. When this summer had begun I was so excited and naive to think this was going to be a great season. I sadly have to admit as a milan fan for the first time I couldn’t be more wrong. This season pains me more than the past 6 years combined. It had finally looked like we had a plan, a manager that hadn’t been a rookie coming from within. A manager that can build this team for years to come and in 7 short games it… Read more »
I feel the same way and I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that I really thought we would have improved with Giampaolo.
He has lost the dressing room and the players are against him. Only Romagnoli said publicly that they support him. Everyone else is silent.
The players are not behind him and they don’t buy into his philosophy. But to get Pioli to replace Giampaolo? Madness!
Everybody had high hopes, not only fans. Respectable voices of italian football praised Giampaolo. Did he fool everybody? I don’t think so. Too many things went south between him and the management without even starting the season, but that is another story.
Pioli has won a third place with Lazio, Giampaolo earned at his best the 9 place with Sampdoria !!! Why isn’t any better Pioli than Giampaolo ???? Giampaolo didn’t have personality at Milan, didn’t defend his ideas of playing, didn’t defend his 4-3-1-2, destroyed our best players in the last season Piatek and Paqueta, he was worst than morontela !!! Giampaolo OUT, Pioli is miles away better than any Giampaolo !
How is Pioli miles away better than Giampaolo? Following your logic we should have gone for Zdenek Zeman. #Milanlandia
And how he isn’t by your logic ????? Pioli qualified for CL preliminaries with lazio, giampaolo best performance is a 9 place with sampdoria and a 13 place with Milan !!!!! Really ??? Can u compare them??? Learn football before you talk !!! Pioli with Fiorentina fought for Europe until the last game when he lost 1-5 against our dear Milan !
It’s possible he succeed if he bench calhanogul, suso n kessi. N start using biglia n benecar as double 4.n use paqueta N boneventura as our creative midfielder and piatek n our small boy up front. Dat me 442 formation, n relic n d rest can come in as subs. Am telling u we will beat any team even juventus.
Nope I already read an article that stats hakan will be back at the wing position under pioli
Don’t give me heart attack please
While biglia would b d standing 4 benecar will b d movable 4 assisting I creativity
For me #PioliOut is too much. That’s the kind of behavior that made our club changing 8 coaches in recent years. Yeah I believe that Maldini & Gazidis are out of their … Mind & they probably be replaced soon but attacking a new coach before he even sign the contract is not a good sign. I made a mistake when I asked Allegri to leave. I did it again for Montella & Rino. You as fans also asked for games to be lost so we can see a coach leave. But believe me even If Inzaghi was still our… Read more »
Soheil first of all sorry for my extremely long rambling …. but In general i would agree with your first paragraph as we as fans can pretty much just support our team to give them the best working conditions to succeed in but if this change of coach is actually happening its well beyond a baffling choice. Usually i would say im pretty level headed and calm and willing to give our coaches the time to prove themselfs and for that matter willing to welcome whoever endsup joining us even if im not allways necessarily happy about said aquisitions but… Read more »
I agree with 99% of your comment. For me #PioliOut that is trending is disrespectful to him. And I don’t like it. It shows how we are lacking in class and football knowledge. Is he my first choice? No. But he is here. Why damaging his mentality? If we want to condemn someone for the mess, We have Elliott, Gazidis, Maldini & Boban. But Milan fans would never do MaldiniOut because he is a legend. Strange enough Pioli is more qualified as a coach compare to Maldini as director but no one said anything about the wrong appointment of him… Read more »
People are obviously doing that to try and boycott it before it happens. Pioli a week ago was linked with sampdoria and Genoa and now he’s coming to milan. All these high profile managers and we get this guy. His stats are awful. I wish him the best and hopefully in the slightest chance he can change our team but I’m not optimistic, simple as that.
It’s somehow childish to think that boycotting will work! I get it though.
As such im not disagreeing what you said and didnt downvote your comments either and agree it wont do any good to continue this when/if he arrives but if he cant take the pressure even before arriving maybe he should take it as a sign and not join at all. But Again if he joins i wont continue my hate towards him that is if he atleast does a good job and that Means giving him the same ammount of games that giampaolo got. Besides of that i allways hated the behaviour of the fans when giving maldini a bad… Read more »
I tried to edit my comment but it somehow turned into blank!
Yeah the new cookies are bad. I think he messed up the Automatic renew times of it. It’s an easy option I do it all the time on my WordPress website.
(People downvoting a blank comment, shows how much stupidity is going on here)
Yeah ok and that makes sense and it seems you know what you are talking about maybe it would help some of the users and the site owner if you message him with that knowledge, just a suggestion though.
Yeah but thats the internet in an eggshell so what can you do other than ignoring it.
Go for your opinion mate, not for the votes. Not everybody is smart to understand what you want to say just by staring at a blank comment. It would be an imagination celebration lol
Huh!!!
Soheil…you were one of only people who said we should have stick with Mihajlovic and I totally agree.
However, Pioli is worse than Giampaolo. Pioli win percentage is 37%. Giampaolo win percentage is 39%. Spalletti is the most sensible option at this moment.
Spalletti win percentage with Inter is 50% with Roma (54.38 percent, 66.7 percent) and Zenit Saint Petersburg (57.54 percent).
We don’t need a caretaker manager this early in the season. With Pioli we will be battling relegation just like Fiorentina did when he was in charge.
We don’t want Pioli period.
I don’t want him either (neither?! I never learned!! :) ). I just said he is here so we should stop attacking him. Believe me they read our comments, posts, hashtags and it will effect their mentality. Any human would be stressed after seeing in their first day of their job everyone is against them.
The only thing we can do is wait to see what happens.
I think Pioli has a very thick skin and would not allow the comments and protest by fans affect him. I see him as a rugged person, which is good even if he wasn’t my choice. But I will support him to succeed.
Giampaolo, I think he is abit weak mentally that is why he failed. Milan was too big for him at the moment.
agree with first paragraph
Depending on d opponent, rebic will replace our small boy. If we are playing opponent like juventus n inter, den we can start rebic n piatek , bcos Der defense will need a striker Dat can out muscles den, while we use our small can later come in around 70min to finally run den down wen dey tired
As I mentioned before, as long as this pathetic money hungry management is around we won’t get anywhere! We need a proven experienced WORLD CLASS manager who will bring WORLD CLASS players! Until then, we go back to square one every year…
Just passing guys. Giampaolo out!!! Enjoy Pioli ride. If the club had stood by Giampaolo like Berlusconi did for Sacchi, Milan would.have we. Better off by now
We always regret not wanting the previous guy. Can we have Morronela back? (At least he looks like Sherlock Holmes! (The Old one) )
Are you serious?!!!!with giampaolo???
That crazy guy never played paqueta and sticked with piatek although his form is deteriorating
Sacchi was an exception
Now the fans supporting giampaolo like he is capello!!!
He was destroying thr club with his sluggish way of thinking
Playing biglia instead of bennacer?
Even at his worst bennacer played way better than biglia
Im really happy that his got away
At least pioli will use 433 which will be a risky squad for our team
May we beat so many teams-maybe we loose to lecce
Sacchi had world class players and legends. There’s no comparison to what Giampaolo had. This is why his sacking shows how clueless Milan management really are.
It would have been better and more sensible to improve the squad based on what Gattuso needed than to start over again with a new coach only to sack him after 7 games.
No wonder Leonardo left. I would have left too because clearly Milan has no serious vision.
Coach talking out of his a$$ again :D Firing Giampaolo was the best decision this management ever made. Cotinuing with him would be extremely stupid. He dug his own grave. No sympathy for him. Milans hat was too big for his small stubborn confused head!
Firing Giampaolo only 7 games in means we miderably failed again the project we started this year. How is that “a good decision” from the management? Didn’t they hire him in first place???
Giampaolo paid for his mistakes, I just hope that Maldini and Boban will be honest enough to pay for theirs, if this too turns out to be a mistake.
My only message for Giampaolo is, it’s better to fall and fail with your own ideas than with someone else’s.
Ya but his ideas only lasted a game. Took gattuso’s ideas with the other 6. His stubbornness of suso and calhanoglu playing every game with a 4 3 3 costed him, and unfortunately I called it. Should have been given till January if we’re getting pioli. All these high class managers without teams this year and we end up with pioli… Go figure
If his ideas worked at Sampdoria, it means unfortunately we have a limited team, tactically and intellectually. Perhaps at Samp they focus more on training than taking pride on their nationality online.
Dammit mfckers! I always had this feeling they were going to stick with Giampaolo. I was hoping till the last minute. He didn’t even got a real chance.
Throw the whole team in the garbage, start a new one, promote from primavera. The players who don’t stay by the coach, can do it with everyone.
Fvcking as*holes. You are the problem.
You don’t deserve this shirt.
Number of tweets and Instagram posts against Pioli appointment shows what fans want. I think once again the management will ignore it.
I said it weeks ago. If you want them to listen, you should empty the stadium, cancel subscriptions and return the tickets.
I completely agree with you! It’s up to us the fans now. Show your distrust and disappointment whenever you get a chance either face to face or in social media. UNTIL ELLIOT SELLS THE CLUB.
We needed a change so badly that I’m ok with Pioli. I don’t think he’s what we need but I think he’ll still be an improvement to the wreck Giampaolo created. Hopefully he can do enough to last till end of the season as it’s difficult to get a good coach mid-season with the limited options and tight budget. Who knows; he might just surprise us all but I’m definitely happy Giampaolo is off the bench.
Now milan fans can only hope miracle would happen : pioli suddenly can bring back milan to play good football and winning again I don’t know what happened to giampaolo and the players There was a glimpse of hope when milan played the friendlies but all that has turned to dust Milan squad have been rebuilt time to time yet the management want an instant success I don’t agree with pioli appointment yet i can’t help it since he will arrive I just hope whoever comes, he will play the right formation with the right players Leao is a must… Read more »
Now I can understand why galliani/belursconi ignored Maldini giving any position in the management
Why you charge Maldini it’s about Elliot they don’t want pay more than 2 million wages which means they want some profit before they even sell the team
If he isn’t agree he should resign! It’s a lie you are telling yourself
PioliOut was trending on Twitter even before he has played one game. If these guys are not going to pick a proper upgrade then they should either stick with the current manager or get in Gatusso.
What are they doing to muy beloved team.
I said it from the beginning of the season… Looking at Giampaolo’s pre season results and 1st couple matches, he was never going to be better than Gattuso. Gattuso has been our best coach since Allegri…yes he was not perfect but our team played for him and wanted him to succeed… It’s evident that these players are not playing for the coach. The board should swallow their pride and beg Gattuso to come back if they aren’t going to appointment a top level coach bcuz Pioli is not better than Giampaolo or Gattuso. We have a better squad than we… Read more »
poli or polo or anyone else take milan as long trio clowns (hakan, biglia and suso) not playing is good enough for me…
Good news, it,s a perfect story because we,ll get a good coach at Januari.
I guess Pioli is just a caretaker to give our management time to approaching and talk to any best manager.
It is amazing. We will pay millions for Giampaolo, Pioli, the good coach we are going to hire in January and fire by June…for everyone man. Maybe the day will come they will pay us some.
In last 5 years this club changed 3 owners, spended more than 400 millions on players and replaced 8 coaches. Here’s your root cause.
I’m exhausted.
Montella + Rino + Giampaolo + Pioli = 8 ?!
in last four season we had 4 coaches. not impressive but 8 is a lie
Allegri left in 2014 then there were Seedorf, Brocchi, Inzaghi, Miha, Montella, Rino, Giampaolo with Pioli the 9th now
this season: Pioli + Giam
last season: Rino
the season before: Montella + Rino
the season before that: Montella
allegri left in 2013-14
we are in 2019-20
it’s been 6 season since allegri left.
funny thing is how much stupid our fans are that are not even capable of counting!!!!
Disappointment after disappointment; would rather have Gatusso return.
Why should the Players in the team listen to a coach whose knowledge in football is worse than them? Pioli is all on Maldini. Sorry Capitano, I always hold you in a pedestal so high that no one can match, but this decision simply doesn’t make ANY sense. This is clearly a downgrade. Before appointing a manager, we need to look at the facts. 1. Winrate 2. Highest finish in league 3. Ability to manage dressingroom 4. Ability to manage the management Pioli is THE absolute worse in every one of those aspect. We are about to fire a coach… Read more »
They listened to Rino. Listening has nothing to do with knowledge. It’s related to the character. Character wise Pioli has charisma. I don’t know about his knowledge. I liked his Lazio, Inter & Fio until I didn’t. His teams always collapse. We should hope that doesn’t happen to us.
I know you are mad but on paper Pioli isn’t worse than Giampaolo.
They would listen to Rino because Rino had a reputation as a player and won trophies. Rino learned under far better coaches as well and played with legends. What does Pioli have in that regards? I am not really comparing Giampaolo or Gattuso with Pioli. Neither has ever been anything good when it comes to coaching and management. Pioli’s Lazio in 2014 was actually ‘okay’ as they played really good football under him. That’s due to Miroslav Klose, Felipe Anderson and Candreva’s super form rather than Pioli’s Skills. When their form dipped in 2015 Pioli couldn’t do anything and got… Read more »
Pioli Signed.
1. Fuck Maldini, Boban and all their fans here.
2. I wish our new strange looking coach the best. I leaned in life that we can find comfort in the most unexpected places. I hope it would be one of them.
Motherk*cker, good guy goes to heaven, bad guy goes to coach and manage ACMilan!
Never ending nightmare so I myself wanna hate this club so much, but I couldn’tt!
I’m not as disappointed as if it was Mourinho though. I cry when I hear people calling for him. It’s as if people haven’t been following his work in last few years. He couldn’t even deliver with spending the most in England and with his poor attitude toward everything. He’s simply outdated. Wouldn’t take Allegri either. He wouldn’t do a thing with this young and not-built-for defensive football squad. Didn’t do well with us. Winning Scudetto with likes of Ibra and Nesta doesn’t require magic. Would never forgive him for chasing champions like Pirlo and Dinho away and losing to… Read more »
Just considering that Mou managed to reach 2nd in EPL with this crap Man U squad while competing with Spurs,Chelsea and Liverpool is enough to prove his management skills. Man U Is going through the same period as Us. Someone like Mou would be a blessing for us at this stage we are in, but he wouldn’t come.
Let’s forget him then lol
