Di Marzio explains why Pioli’s renewal with Milan had the ‘perfect timing’

By Isak Möller -

Following the disappointing defeat to Torino away from home, AC Milan decided to announce the renewal of Stefano Pioli until 2025. A move that some questioned but ended up being a masterstroke. 

The Rossoneri had a tough game against Torino and it’s clear that little was working that evening. Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara wanted to show their support hadn’t changed, though, and thus renewed Pioli until 2025.

Milan followed it up with a 4-0 win against Salzburg and a 2-1 win against Spezia last night. Speaking to Sky Italia, as cited by SempreMilan.it, the journalist Gianluca Di Marzio explained why the renewal came at just the right time for the club.

“Having renewed the contract at Pioli, after the defeat in Turin and before the Champions League match, was the perfect signal to give and to make people understand the position of the club. Perfect timing, after a defeat,” he stated.

Just two games remain ahead of the World Cup break, with the Rossoneri taking on Cremonese and Fiorentina. The goal is obviously to win both games and remain within reachable distance of Napoli, who are currently the league leaders.
