Olivier Giroud, Simon Kjaer and Stefano Pioli were thanked by the fans during the farewell ceremony at San Siro last night. However, while this was beautiful, there was a hint of negativity just before it commenced. 

Indeed, as Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic stepped onto the pitch, the fans began whistling and jeering (see videos below) to express their discontent. It was even worse for Giorgio Furlani, who was also booed when handing over the framed shirt to Kjaer.

The fans are far from happy with the outcome of the season, finishing second a whopping 18 points behind city rivals Inter. Paulo Fonseca is reportedly in pole position to replace Stefano Pioli and this is a decision that hasn’t gone done well with the fans, while a strong mercato is also needed.

In short, the upcoming summer will be very important and if the previous silent protest hadn’t made that clear, the whistles last night certainly did.
