Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has stated that Carlo Ancelotti’s job relies on his results this season.

The tactician is in his sixth year with the Rossoneri and both Marco Van Basten and Frank Rijkaard have been paired with their former club.

Ancelotti insisted over the weekend that he wanted to be the club’s Sir Alex Ferguson with a 20-year spell on the bench, but the San Siro officials may have other ideas.

“We have always felt a deep affection for Ancelotti, since he was one of our players,” Galliani told Sky Italia.

“However, it is logical and evident that the confirmation of any Coach depends on the results he achieves, it has always been this way,” added the former Lega Calcio chief.

Milan are currently in fifth place after the 1-0 home win over Atalanta, but the Via Turati club has already started planning their next signings, which Galliani explains are discussed with the team veterans.

“Milan are a democratic club, the new signings are agreed to by the management, the Coach and the veterans,” explained the official.

“I have always asked Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Costacurta their opinion before buying a new player, I think that is normal.

“That is how it works here, club, Coach and veterans, so no one can blame only one of the parties involved if things don’t work out as expected,” concluded the Rossonero.
