Okay, let's do this.

He had a good start with Sampdoria and Empoli, got relegated with Venezia. His second spell at Udine started good and had a fair-tale ending. Then he got to Roma and had to deal with Inter. Milan at that time already started to loose capability of playing good in the league. He got comfortable in getting second, never really making a run for the money. In 2008 Roma came closest, but failed in the last leg drawing with Catania.

Look, maybe my comment was over the top. But I honestly want someone with a winning mentality and someone who's won more then just the Coppa Italia. I simply have little respect for Spalletti, he's been always small in that regard.

From that list my wishlist would be

1. Conte
2. Montella
3. Spalletti

Klopp is just not an option for us in my mind. Donadoni has done some decent things but if we want to actually accomplish something of note next season we have to aim higher than him, same thing with Prandelli tbh. The WC just left a bad taste in my mouth with regards to him

Sarri doesn't even warrant considering and it's appalling that his name is being mentioned in the press so much. Just goes to show that Galliani simply never learns his lesson

Mihajlovic is also very interesting to me, as a coach. I don't like him at all. But you have to admit that Samp have been doing very well under him

Yep, totally over-the-top, in my opinion. I think you're exaggerating. Sure, he hasn't won anything prestigious, but like I said, given the clubs he's trained so far, he's done very well.



I like him, too. I don't give a crap about his Inter ties. I'm past that point of consideration.

It's not his Inter ties but his overall behavior. Brawling and assaulting his own players, having a bad temper and all that. On top of it, I disliked him as a player very much.

I'd take Mihajlovic.

He'd be my 4th choice after Conte, Montella and Spalletti. Certainly above Prandelli and Donadoni.

Why?

Look at what he's doing with Samp.

I just think he has a higher potential treshold than Donadoni or Prandelli

My joint top choices are Conte, Montella and Klopp. Spalletti, Mihajlovic are probably next, with Prandelli and Donadoni up the rear.

The one thing these all have in common is experience. Lots of it.

Any of those those 7 are superior to Pippo.

Donadoni had good results with Livorno and Parma, Prandelli entered the CL with Fiorentina. On the other hand, Mihajlovic failed badly with Serbia, Bologna and Fiorentina. I'm really not sure one season (which isn't over jet) is enough.

From the options you mentioned I think that Conte would definitely be the best choice, but I doubt he would come here. Following him I would say Montella but I cannot see him leaving Fiorentina to come here. After that I'd take Spalletti. I see Prandelli and Donadoni on the same level and I don't think either one would be better than the other. Mihajlovic is more of a wild card in my eyes. I don't see Sarri as a terrible choice, I don't know too much about him, but he does have Empoli playing pretty well, I would like to see how he would do with better personnel.

They're 15th...

9 points clear of relegation and haven't lost since 26th of January to Udine.

They're doing well at the moment.

And that means Sarri is doing a commendable job to be considered for our bench? Not in a million years.

Agreed, isn't that similar to what Allegri was doing at Cagliari?
