The match marked his last in charge of Milan.
It is the night for thanks, so I start by thanking those people who wanted me here and who supported me, who gave me the opportunity to coach a fantastic club. Thank you to the others, to all the employees of Casa Milan, of Milanello, my staff who worked so hard," said Pioli afterwards.

I thank my players, you know what I think of you, that you are special and certain things will remain.
Then there are all of you. You pushed us on, motivated us, gave us the kind of energy we tried to put onto the pitch.
"We lost and suffered together. We won and rejoiced together. What we felt remains. You lit a fire in my heart, it will always remain lit and I will never forget you. Thank you."
