L'Allianz Milano says goodbye to Challenge Cup and coach Roberto Piazza
Allianz Milano closes its season and the path in the playpff fifth place with the defeat in game-2 of the semifinals against Valsa Group Modena.

The MVP title goes to setter Tizi-Oualou, who was good at managing the game and involving all his teammates with continuity.
The match also takes on a symbolic value for several Milan protagonists, starting with coach Roberto Piazza, who bids farewell to the Milan bench after seven seasons, welcomed by the affection and emotion of the Allianz Cloud audience.
