The Italian Stefano Pioli, coach of Milan, was awarded this Monday the ‘Panchina d’Oro’ (Golden Bag) award that identifies him as the best coach of the last season in Serie A thanks to the ‘scudetto’ he won then .
Pioli got 33 of the 46 votes from his colleagues and prevailed as the winner against his compatriots Luciano Spalletti, Napoli coach, and Davide Nicola, former coach of Salernitana, in a ceremony that took place in Coverciano (Florence) .
“I’m excited. When I look back on what I did last year I can still feel the emotions,” said Pioli when he received the award from the Technical Sector of the Italian Football Federation.

“I want to share this award with all the special people who work with us at Milanello, the club, the managers and the staff who are the engine of my work. And thanks especially to my players, who I consider still a decisive part , I know I’m training a very special group”, highlighted Pioli.
The Italian coach, who was questioned until a week ago over Milan’s poor run which saw them go seven games in a row without a win, managed to turn the situation around with three consecutive 1-0 wins, including the one achieved in last week in the round of 16 (first leg). ) of the Champions League against Tottenham at the San Siro.
Head of the ‘rossonero’ bench since 2019, Pioli replaced his compatriot Antonio Conte, certainly the current manager of Tottenham, as the best coach of the season.
