Maldini and Pioli close with Milan, Rannick takes everything at the end of the season

Milan-Juventus will be the last Milan-Juventus that Maldini can't forget. “This is my Milan”, the coach said after the important success in Rome towards Lazio.

It was the best Milan of the season. The Pioli contract envisions automatic renovation only in case of qualifications in the Champions League. It won't happen. An excellent finale of the season, except that it no doubt becomes the best of the team, will only serve to leave some regrets and hostages behind.

Of course for coach's next career. But beyond that, it's already decided that Pioli will not be confirmed, because Ralph Rangnick is a choice we can consider final.

Indeed, administrator Ivan Gazidis communicated with Rangnick's arrival even in Maldini legend. No more doubts. And this, besides training, from next season he will also cover the role of the technical director.

This means that Maldini will be gone because he owns this role of red legend by contract until 2022. Rangnick, among other things, will also be the medical sector overseer.
