ISTANBUL (AA) – AC Milan's manager Stefano Pioli inked on Friday a new deal with the club until mid-2023, with an option for a one-year extension.

"I want to thank the Club for having given me the chance to coach a competitive team and one that is replete with great values, which must never go missing and which make AC Milan special," Pioli said in a statement.

"I'm proud of the work we've done until now, with the good relationship I have with the management, with the growth of my players and with the passion displayed by everyone working at this incredible Club."

The 56-year-old was appointed as the AC Milan head coach in October 2019 after Marco Giampaolo’s sacking.
