AC Milan are risking a repeat of this season already, and if action is not taken soon, it could creep up on the Rossoneri.
There are several directions that you can point this season in terms of blame. Whether that is solely towards the management or not, it probably has a part to do with some misjudgment on their part.
Last summer, Milan failed to hire a coach quickly enough, and the summer rebuild was poor, at best. In fact, this trend continued into the winter too, where each signing has been questioned already.
Already, there is a fear coming over the Rossoneri about the season only a few months away, and it starts with fears about the coach. This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) have taken a deeper look.
On Saturday night, Giorgio Furlani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Geoffrey Moncada sat discussing the issue of a coach – not the first time they have sat at San Siro to evaluate things after a game, certainly, famously, even.
Today, these discussions will continue with Igli Tare, who is expected to start work today.
It starts with Sergio Conceicao, whose future needs to be finalised. Of course, the Diavolo plan to make use of their break clause. Then, the search for a new coach will begin once again, powered by the freedom of the off-season.
Vincenzo Italiano and Gian Piero Gasperini are currently options, though both are seemingly unattainable, due to their situations with their current clubs. Both are in the process of renewing their deals.
Then, there is Massimiliano Allegri. However, his own future can be questioned with Napoli tracking him heavily. Perhaps, after months of being linked, he will head for other pastures, rather than the Milanese ones that have been drawn up for so long.
There, as mentioned then, are issues with all three leading choices. So, we go back to the start. Milan’s new coach must be Italian and have an impressive record. Perhaps, Roberto Mancini will arise as an option.
Also, Thiago Motta and Francesco Farioli, both of whom had questionable spells with Juventus and Ajax this season. Nevertheless, they are there, both free of charge. Maurizio Sarri and Roberto De Zerbi, at least for now, can remain on the probably not pile.
