The Milan supporter who stole Stefano Pioli’s Serie A winner’s medal has seemingly shown off his ill-gotten gains on social media.
The coach was holding the medal during the chaotic celebrations at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia on Sunday evening, having won the first Serie A title of his career.
Pioli later sent out the message in interviews that he had lost the medal, believing someone had taken it from him during the crush when surrounded by fans.
The thief has seemingly identified himself via social media, posting on his Instagram Stories the medal in his hand with the caption: ‘Thanks Pioli.’
It remains to be seen whether the culprit will return the medal to Pioli.
If not, the Lega Serie A already tweeted out reassurances they will provide the coach with a replica.
Meanwhile, Pioli made sure there is one memento of the Scudetto triumph that cannot be taken from him, as today he got a tattoo on the inside of his arm representing the tricolore shield with 19, as it is Milan’s 19th Serie A title.
