AC Milan's head coach Stefano Pioli and Napoli's boss Luciano Spalletti are two intelligent coaches, but one of them had never been able to beat the other in 15 years. Who between the two remained undefeated for so long in the head-to-head between the two coaches? As today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, Luciano Spalletti remained unbeaten by Pioli's teams until March 16, 2022, when Giroud's goal defeated Napoli and launched Milan towards its 19th Scudetto title.
The statistics show a total of 14 matches, with 9 wins for the Tuscan coach, 3 draws, and 2 wins for the Emilian coach. The last four matches were certainly the most beautiful, especially in terms of intensity and entertainment. It's incredible how in these matches, the away team always won: Napoli won twice at San Siro, and Milan won twice at the Maradona, a perfect tie.
In the 14 matches played by the two coaches, the first one was won by Spalletti 4-0, and the last one was won by Pioli 4-0, marking the end of a cycle. It almost seems as if the following match at the San Siro in the Champions League quarter-final's first leg could give rise to a new cycle between these two tacticians. The qualification for the semi-finals will be played in the details, as relayed by MilanPress.it.
