Following tonight's win against Sassuolo, Stefano Pioli discussed his recent surprising contract extension with Milan. The rossoneri's manager spoke to Sky Sport about how the decision materialized:"I'm happy, I knew about the negotiation for a few days. Managing this prestigious club and this team, which has great quality to grow is important. I always spoke to Gazidis. The week before we played Genoa, he guaranteed that the decisions had not been made, that he would have evaluated my work and the players'. Then there is a constant relationship with Maldini and Massara who are always at Milanello.
Pioli gave more details:"Monday was the decisive call. I was hoping for it, I'm comfortable here with the team and the fans. I was always comfortable with my relationships here, I never saw any negativity. I could feel some perplexity about me, that comes with the territory, but I always felt confidence in me from the club"
