The winger confessed he was unable to convince Pioli after arriving the club close to the start of the season.
“I arrived late, at the end of July. It was a bit difficult to convince him (Pioli); the player in my position was scoring goals,” Chukwueze was quoted by Football Italia.
“I had a good relationship with Pioli; he’s a fantastic guy and a great coach.”
Chukwueze registered one goal and three assists in 24 appearances for AC Milan last season.
