Pioli replaces Giampaolo’s position as AC Milan coach

DBasia.news –  AC Milan officially fired Marco Giampaolo from the coach’s seat on Tuesday (8/10/2019). The reason is the poor performance of the Rossoneri at the start of the 2019/20 Italian League. Now the Rossoneri coaching chair has been replaced by Stefano Pioli on a two-year contract.

Pioli will be appointed after the sacking of Marco Giampaolo and returning to the San Siro after he was sacked by Inter in May 2017.

Giovanni Trapattoni during his long career as Coach of Juventus, Milan (in 1973-74) and broke the Serie A record at Inter in 1988-89.

Alberto Zaccheroni won the Scudetto for the Rossoneri in 1998-1999, then played briefly at Inter in 2003-04.
