AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has spoken about his relationship with the club's former director Paolo Maldini.
"I would like to thank Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massar. I have not worked with any manager for a longer period of time and I owe them a lot. We had a good working relationship based on respect and got on well. Of course, there were disputes, especially after the championship season, but respect was always present," Pioli was quoted as saying by the Rossoneri press service.
