As MilanNews write, Giorgio Furlani presented Pioli with a medal and it is actually an unusual instance of this happening, because usually one is only awarded for 100 appearances, but the club strongly wanted to remember his achievement.
During the ‘ceremony’ at Milanello, Furlani gave a speech underlining the prestige of the milestone of 100 victories with the Rossoneri and recalling the fact that he has reached 220 games in charge which puts him on par with Arrigo Sacchi.
Pioli thanked Furlani, the entire ownership and management, highlighting the great merit of the players in reaching 100 victories, thanks to their commitment and mentality.
“We are not satisfied, I hope to achieve another 100 wins,” he said.
The 100th win actually came last month during the 3-2 victory over Udinese, a game that was of course marred by the racial abuse that Mike Maignan suffered throughout.
Given the stories circulating regarding Pioli’s future and the idea that he might leave at the end of the season, he has certainly put his flag in the sand by saying he wishes to remain for another 100 wins.
