AC Milan's Stefano Pioli on Monday
won Italy's Panchina d'Oro (Golden Bench) coach-of-the-year
award for the 2021-22 season after leading his side to the Serie
A title last term.
Pioli won the votes of 33 of his 46 colleagues at a ceremony at
the Italian Soccer Federation's Coverciano base near Florence.
He succeeds Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte, who had led
Inter to the Serie A title the previous season.
"I'm emotional," said Pioli, who dedicated his prize to his
players, backroom staff and the whole setup at Milan.
"When I see again what we did last year, the emotions come
back".
Milan are currently fourth in Serie A, 18 points behind leaders
Napoli.
