Maurizio Sarri has been linked with the AC Milan job on various occasions, and Alfredo Pedullà has lifted the lid on one time in particular when things were moving in the right direction then fell apart. This summer, Sarri was – albeit briefly – on the list of names of coaches linked to Milan as they sought to replace Stefano Pioli. The Italian had left Lazio and was in search of a new project, yet it never really felt like a good fit considering the stance of the Rossoneri’s management. As Alfredo Pedullà explains on his YouTube channel (via Radio Rossonera), in the…
Evan Fournier was an interesting Celtic. Not a memorable one. Not a successful one. Fournier’s arrival came during the height of Boston instability during the Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum era. He arrived to help fill the shooting and scoring deficit left by Gordon Hayward’s departure the previous summer. It became Danny Ainge’s last significant move as President of Basketball Operations. It also makes me think back to a darker time in team history, to probably my worst take covering the team — that Boston had to retain him in free agency. Three years later, the Celtics are celebrating their…
Super Eagles’ Samuel Chukwueze has reacted to Ademola Lookman’s failed move to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in the summer. AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze has weighed in on Ademola Lookman’s reported move to Ligue 1 from Europa League champions Atalanta BC. Nigeria’s Lookman delivered an impressive season that saw him emerge as the hero for Atalanta as they became the first Italian side to lift UEFA’s second tier competition. The 26-year-old became the first player to ever score three goals in a major UEFA competition final after he inspired Atalanta to a comfortable 3-0 win against hitherto…
Evan Fournier spent 12 seasons in the NBA before the former Boston Celtics forward decided to punt on free agency and decided to sign a two-year, $4 million deal with EuroLeague club Olympiacos B.C. Following a career-altering stint with the New York Knicks that saw Fournier’s minutes plummet from 29.5 in 2021-22 to 17 in 2022-23, plus a non-beneficial midseason trade to the Detroit Pistons, Fournier had enough. The return to NBA free agency didn’t fare well for the 31-year-old, however, it wasn’t as if each of the league’s 30 franchises had zero interest in striking a deal. Fournier revealed…
Fabio Capello and Arrigo Sacchi have tipped Inter to defend the Scudetto, while admitting their surprise at AC Milan’s difficult start under Paulo Fonseca. Milan have not had a good beginning to their new era as they have taken just two points from a possible nine under Fonseca. A 2-2 draw against Torino (in which the Rossoneri were 2-0 down) was followed by a 2-1 defeat in Parma and another 2-2 draw against Lazio. The expectation was that Milan would pick up some early wins to build confidence and some momentum, yet after the Venezia game which follows the international…
The Celtics weren’t able to retain everyone from the team’s NBA Finals-winning roster, which has now left free agent wing Oshae Brissett coming to terms with saying goodbye to the city of Boston after just a single season. Brissett, 26, signed a two-year deal with the Celtics last offseason which included a player option for 2024-25. Brissett declined the option this offseason and opted to join the free agency market where he’s patiently remained waiting for his next NBA opportunity. Meanwhile, Boston’s front office remained busy in replacing every and all departures and potential gaping holes both through the 2024 NBA Draft…
Journalist Monica Colombo has revealed her surprise that Manu Kone chose to join AS Roma over AC Milan, but also gave some of the back story on why the move never materialised. During the closing stages of the 2024 summer transfer window the possibility emerged of selling Ismael Bennacer to a club abroad and using the proceeds to go and get Kone from Borussia Monchengladbach. The French midfielder – who had just been part of a run to the final of the Olympic Games with his country – has long been a target for Milan. The Rossoneri tried to get him…
Alvaro Morata is back working on the field at Milanello and a target has been set for his return to competition action with AC Milan, a report claims. MilanNews writes that despite Paulo Fonseca giving four days of rest to the squad (training will resume on Monday afternoon), Morata still showed up at Milanello today to continue recovering from the muscle problem that kept him out of the last two games against Parma and Lazio. As shown in the video published by the Spanish player himself, the new Milan No.7 trained this morning in the pouring rain. Morata, who scored on his…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not expected to make any public statements in the coming hours, but he must remain close to the AC Milan squad during what is a difficult time. As La Gazzetta dello Sport write, Ibrahimovic will become fundamental in the next two weeks for the words he will say behind the scenes at Milanello rather than what he tells the media, both journalists and his followers on social media. Zlatan is Gerry Cardinale’s right-hand man at Milan and he takes care of everything, from the pitch to marketing. However, his role is particularly important in managing the dynamics of the…
AC Milan have full faith in Paulo Fonseca after appointing him in the summer and seeing positive preseason signs, but the management expect to see a turnaround in results soon. As Calciomercato.com report this morning, the press conference to present Tammy Abraham inevitably turned into a grilling of CEO Giorgio Furlani, who had to answer various questions about the poor start to the season, the unwillingness to spend over €20m and the Theo-Leao incident. Fonseca was also a topic discussed, and the line was clear: the club has chosen to trust the Portuguese coach, trying to take the pressure off him and his staff…
