S. Pioli: "Milan" place - in the Champions League © JumpStory

Last year, the "Milan" team demonstrated solid results and their coach Stefano Pioli hopes that this year his players will continue to pursue their set goals. Currently, the "red and blacks" are leading the "Serie A" championship, but the specialist highlighted another important goal. "We work to improve and return to the Champions League. The club did not impose specific requirements on us and did not create pressure. Maldini, Massara, and Gazidis have created excellent working conditions for us and we will strive to bring "Milan" back to where the team belongs - the UEFA Champions League. We have not been there for many years and now we can achieve it," the Italian explained. S. Pioli pointed out Simon Kjaer and Zlatan Ibrahimovic who arrived in January last year. "The current group of players is strong and united. The newcomers from January became examples and helped change the results."
