AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale sent a message to Stefano Pioli and the squad today ahead of the first day of preseason preparations.
The summer vacations are over for the vast majority of the Milan team and they will begin their work ahead of the 2023-24 campaign with a training session at Milanello at 17:00 CEST this evening.
It has been a turbulent summer thus far to say the least with Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara no longer the directors, with no Zlatan Ibrahimovic to grace the team with his presence and with Sandro Tonali having been sold recently as well.
It is vital that there is a sense of unity around the club as president Paolo Scaroni mentioned in an interview published this morning, because a bounce-back season is needed domestically.
Below is the message that Cardinale sent to Pioli as he spoke about in his first press conference of the summer, which was then transmitted to the squad.
“I want to wish you and the team all the best for the start of the new season. Please know, and let our wonderful players know, that I am working tirelessly to make sure you are equipped for success,” it began.
“I want to win everything and we can’t do it unless we have a project to build on. Count on me and my team; we’re counting on you, our players and the support of our fantastic fans. Thank’s my friend.”
