AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli is happy to have penned a new deal.

Pioli has extended his contract to 2023 this past week.

“The club and I have the same ambition," he explained.

“We want to bring Milan back to the competitions we deserve. We want to be competitive again to win the Scudetto and return to the top in Europe.

“Now, we need to raise the level and become even more competitive. It's important to have passion for what we do and have the desire to win every match.

“The team has always been balanced. We know we made mistakes against Fiorentina, but against Atletico, we played simple and we didn't misplace easy passes. Il will be crucial to winning duels.

“Tomorrow, we need to play simple again and avoid errors."
