AC Milan Coach Stefano Pioli having a double training session with his new team on Thursday 10 October 2019 at Milanello.  The first challenge for Pioli will be to win his first game as new AC Milan coach which will be the Serie A Week 8 game AC Milan vs US Lecce on Sunday 20 October 2019 at the Stadio San Siro.    Lecce is in the 18th position with 6 points.

The morning training session started at 10:30 CEST.   Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara were also present at training.

As reported by AC Milan official website, fitness work was the focus of the morning session; the group were on the pitch after having first warmed up their muscles in the gym. They started with a few speed exercises: sprints, sharp changes of direction and running, all performed around floor obstacles and mannequins. They had one more set of exercises focused on muscle responsiveness before they headed back to the changing rooms.

The wake up call is ringing loud because it is unacceptable to see AC Milan down in the 13th position winning only 3 games…

👉  Up to Serie A Week 7, AC Milan is in the 13th position with 9 points being -10 points below Juventus with 19 points in the 1st position.
