Milan Bid Farewell to Pioli with Final Season-Ending Match Against Salernitana

AC Milan is gearing up for their final match under the tutelage of Stefano Pioli as they prepare to face Salernitana in the Serie A season finale at the iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan. The Rossoneri have already secured a second-place finish and will be bidding adieu to Pioli after a five-year tenure.

However, Milan will be without key players like Mike Maignan, Simon Kjaer, and Samuel Chukwueze due to injuries, while Salernitana will miss Guillermo Ochoa, Federico Fazio, Domagoj Bradaric, Iron Gomis, and Jerome Boateng. Additionally, Toma Basic is suspended for the match.

In their previous encounter this season, Salernitana managed to hold Milan to a 2-2 draw, adding an element of unpredictability to this final showdown.

Despite having little at stake, Salernitana will look to salvage some pride as they brace for relegation to Serie B. Milan, on the other hand, will see this match as a farewell to Pioli and departing players like Kjaer, Giroud, and potentially Mirante, who is expected to retire at the end of the season.

Antonio Mirante, the veteran goalkeeper, may receive a sendoff appearance in his final game, while Marco Pellegrino, on loan at Salernitana from Milan, will aim to make an impact against his parent club. Olivier Giroud, set to move to the MLS, eyes his 50th goal for Milan in what could be an emotional goodbye.

The match is poised to be an emotional conclusion to Pioli’s era at Milan, setting the stage for a new beginning under different leadership and with fresh challenges ahead for the Rossoneri.
