Former Serie A striker Sergio Pellissier says AC Milan should hand coach Stefano Pioli a new deal.

Pellissier is now president of Clivense, which have just been promoted to Serie D.

He told MilanNews.it: "I am now president and I must also think about results, which, this year, in the case of Milan they didn't arrive.

"But what I heard (Paolo) Maldini say is also true.

"The level has risen and to compete at certain levels you need to have at least two, if not three, teams.

"You to start from scratch with him (Pioli) and start a new cycle."
