AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli is delighted with his new contract to 2022.

Milan confirmed the news after victory over Sassuolo last night.

“I am very happy. I'd known for a couple of days and getting the chance to lead such a prestigious club from the start, a team that I know has quality and can grow…" Pioli told Sky Sport Italia.

“I am obviously very happy. Our future is now and we must focus on the next three games, as there is much to do, we still have much to give, then we can think of the future from August 3.

“The club has proved itself very fair with me, as in the individual meeting I had, I was told there was no definitive decision yet and a choice would be made based on evaluations near the end of the season.

“I didn't say I was focused on the present just to say that, I meant it. If we hadn't got back on the field after the restart, it would've been a season of great regret, because even before that we showed signs of what we could do.

“Since the lockdown, we'd be third in the table and are on the same track as Atalanta."
