Pioli made Milan champion after 11 years and came close to winning cl (hope win) , play semifinal after 16 years. Grass is always greener on the other side. Arteta was nothing until this year. Maybe this is just a fluke year. Like spalletti. Also get spanked by sporting Lizbon.
Ten hag was very successful with ajax but nothing special with manu.
Pioli is much more successful than arteta and also regarding the club size more successful than ten hag. I can’t even think if pioli get trashed by relegation team Sevilla by 3-0.
If we just check last 3 years and without any sense ask any people just check the results and say the best performer manager in the world for last 3 years if we reach the final pioli will be the best I think.
With a Milan after a horrific decade with low budget
1-He takes in the middle of the season and goes to European cup
2-second year league runner up with half of the team injured, champions league after 7 years
3-third year league champion after 11 years
4-fourth year cl semifinal and probably final after 16 years
I don’t know any manager in the world similar. Mourinho Porto and inter seasons , heynckes Bayern , ancelotti’s last year cl trophy (but with the most winner team of the world not a bunch of young guys) etc
And in This 4 years we never lose a game if it is a do or die game , always win , even didn’t lost a single game (I don’t give a shit about cup games)
Atalanta last game when we go to cl, inter game and last 6 games when go to scudetto , Tottenham and Napoli games both as an underdog. I dont know any team beside Real Madrid which is so successful in do or die games.
These are truths not any subjective ideas. We can’t say pioli is the best but he is the best for Milan , that is sure (you see fucking tuchel, Bayern is losing everything ). There is no any manager in the world we can say he will absolutely be more successful than pioli in Milan. Will the new guy get cl, maybe pioli will in his second participation with the youngest team and lowest budget
