Pioli is ready to say yes: after Fonseca’s announcement yesterday by the Rossoneri, the Emilia coach is ready to get back in the game. He doesn’t want a sabbatical. Here’s the situation
He won an unexpected Scudetto; he won an equally unexpected Champions League final; he finished second behind Inter, which had another championship. But it was probably also all the derbies he lost that almost forced Milan to end its relationship with Stefano Pioli.
Since yesterday, Paulo Fonseca has been official at Milanello: the former Roma player returns to Italy with “warlike” intentions sportingly speaking, because a club like the Rossoneri, which has always been accustomed to winning, cannot help but think about this. In short, a good test for the Portuguese coach. But that is another matter, we now focus on what could be the future of Pioli who, despite not being in the running, does not want to take a sabbatical. He would have already made a decision.
Pioli says yes even with the championship in progress
As it happened already when he took the reins of AC Milan, Stefano Pioli with the championship underway would be ready to say yes if someone were to knock on his door. He is not going to say no a priori, he will sit down at the table and figure out if there is a basis for a path together, whatever club of course should knock on his door. Young and certainly prepared, he does not want to sit still for a long time. He has desire and ambition and knows, moreover, that he can still give so much.
We will see if during the next Serie A championship – or perhaps abroad – some tempting opportunity opens up to get him back to work quickly. He feels ready for anything, also because as said before, it was in this way that he built his work inside Milan. And then the results have evidently come despite all the criticism that has rained down on him. Some times really unnecessary and unjustifiable.
