In an interview today, Marco Giampaolo has criticised AC Milan for sacking him, after his tenure only lasted seven games of the 2019/20 season before Stefano Pioli came in.
Giampaolo’s name is remembered for the wrong reasons in Milan, mainly because he is the shortest-lasting manager in the history of the club – lasting 111 days before he was given the sack. With three wins and four defeats in seven games, his position as the head coach was never promising.
Speaking to Il Terzo Uomo (via Calciomercato.com), Giampaolo criticised the Diavolo for the decision to sack him just seven games into his tenure, believing that he deserved more time.
“There are projects that begin and can go on and other experiences that end immediately. In Rossoneri I lacked time, I didn’t have the chance to work well and to be able to improve things.”
Of course, the topic of more time has been rife this season, with Paulo Fonseca almost facing a similar storyline, but after a victory in the Derby della Madonnina, he has earned himself a future for now, powered by the restart he provided the club under his guidance.
