"AC Milan announces that Stefano Pioli has tested positive following a quick test carried out this morning. The health authorities have been informed, and the Coach, who is currently showing no symptoms, has gone into quarantine at home," Milan said in a statement.
"All other tests carried out by the squad and staff came back negative. As a result, today's training session has been canceled. Training ahead of the match with Napoli will resume on Monday, subject to the checks set out in the federal protocol," it added.
