Pioli brought up the milestone during the midweek game against Paris Saint-Germain and he is now the seventh-longest serving manager of Milan in terms of games coached.
Provided that he is still in charge then, he is on course to pass the legendary Arrigo Sacchi some time around February of next year, which would be a phenomenal achievement.
Giorgio Furlani spoke in front of the squad after giving Pioli his medal, and he praised the coach for the longevity of his reign and what he has been able to achieved.
“Two hundred appearances are just a small victory, the next mini milestone will arrive around February when you will surpass Sacchi’s 220 but above all the big milestone will be in May when we all hope to celebrate,” he said.
Stefano Pioli also gave his thanks to the club and to the team for the part they have played during his tenure.
“I could not have achieved this goal without the support of the club and without your moral, professional and technical qualities,” he said.
