It seemed already all done, in practice only the official announcement was missing and instead in the end the arrival of Ralf Rangnick to Milan was sensationally missed. The news began to circulate yesterday evening during the Rossoneri’s match against Sassuolo and in the post-game also the official statement of the confirmation of Stefano Pioli arrived, who signed the renewal until 30 June 2022.

CONFIRM PIOLI – As Corriere della Sera explains this morning, it was the excellent performance of AC Milan after the resumption of the championship that convinced Elliott and the CEO Gazidis. Although contacts with Rangnick have been going on for months, the club in via Aldo Rossi has decided to suddenly change direction and give confidence to the current coach. But behind his confirmation there are not only the positive results of these last weeks: in fact it was also the great feeling that was created between Pioli and the players and also his ability to enhance the group.
CONTINUITY’ – Rangnick, also yesterday evening, instead explained through his agent that this is not the right time to move to Milan. The AC Milan club therefore focuses on continuity and on a project that has already started. With the non-arrival of the German and Pioli’s confirmation, the fate of Paolo Maldini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic could now also change: it is not excluded that the two may now decide to remain in the Rossoneri club too.
