I think his biggest mistake was not trying something like yesterday sooner, given Diaz post-covid has been missing for weeks. And also, in some of the CL games he had questional tactical decisions. It's a learning experience though. As long as we don't see the same negative patterns occur.

I think he's mostly been on an upward trajectory since coming here, so I expect him to learn from this period. Was really refreshing to see him try some unusual ideas yesterday, although it's not the first time, but it's been a while

Spezia always tough. This mental midget will make us play for top 4 ,but forget about trophies with Pioli.

This was such a winnable match.
His subs only made things worse. Also pioli needs to sub out that 40 year old man and stop being a pussy.

All this injuries and absences have made him forget who his starters are… overcomplicating a lot of games.

Also has anyone else noticed how horrible his record has been since renewing….

On that note even Saelemaeker started underperforming after renewing….
Kjaer got a season ending injury after renewing…

He also needs to think long term. Why give players like Messias, Florenzi, Bakayoko, Kessie minutes over players that will be here with milan for a long term like Saelemaeker, Calabria, Tonali, and Bennacer.

Players like Saelemaeker Brahim Bennacer and Rebic are rapidly loosing form because they were dropped as starters. The same thing happened last season when we signed Meite and Mandzukic who were getting a lot more minutes than they should of had.

I think Pioli is showing a tendency to overcomplicate things and I dont think he knows how to handle a deep roster. He was doing a lot better when he had a thin team to manage.

Im surprised he doesnt use Krunic as often for CAM. Even more surprised considering Brahims form. He confuses me at times.

I'll try to do a comparison between him and our last league winning coach.
Pioli is better.

Pioli is the best manager I've ever seen as a Milan fan.

And I'm an infamous Allegri fan.

Pioli is better. Pioli is it.

I don't think that Milan fans realise his stats are up there with Sacchi. He is one of the best managers we've ever had.

And I am fucking proud of that. I would let Pioli do whatever. He is the one.

I actually can’t believe he did IT. He really overachieved with the attack he had.
and this being his first trophy ever. He deserves so much for his charisma alone.

Please give him the attckers he deserves and lets dominate europe

What beverage does he drink from paper cups before every match? Espresso shots?

I would like to be as fit as him when I grow old.

The mix of old and young in our squad is very unique

Pioli has the capability to tailor his approach to different kind of players a la Carlo but on the other hand also has the ability to make it all fit in a recognizable structure

He overachieved this season and made millions of us happy. Grazie mille.

Pioli is the best manager we've had since Allegri at least. Probably since Ancelotti
