Today is the sixth anniversary of when Carlo Ancelotti took over as Coach of Milan and the 48-year-old hopes to stay for another six years.

The ex-Parma tactician was named as the new Milan boss on November 5, 2001, and he has since gone on to win two Champions League titles and a Scudetto, among other trophies. 

His long-period in charge goes against the norm in Italy, where coaches very rarely stay at one club for longer than four or five years. 

“I did not think it would be possible to remain on the Milan bench for so long,” admitted Ancelotti. “However I am ready to remain here for another six years.” 

The current season has not been an easy one for Milan, and they currently sit in ninth position in Serie A, having still failed to win at home in the league this campaign. 

“Unfortunately we have lost a lot of points at home,” said Carletto. 

“Fourth place does seem far away from us, however there is still plenty of time to recover.” 

Tomorrow the Rossoneri travel to the Ukraine for a tricky Champions League match with Shakhtar Donetsk, and Ancelotti knows it will be far from straightforward. 

“To win there is not impossible, even if we know it is not going to be easy. However Ronaldo has now returned and this is very positive for us,” he concluded.

Carletto is great. He and Seedorf are very much a like. They are some of the best out there. But they lack motivation against smaller sides. They are very much relaxed and I don't think that's a positive emotion at this time. Carletto is injecting this feeling in the dressing room and this is one of the many problems. There shouldn't be panic. But there should be anger and lots and lots of desire to win every ball and play every game like it's your last. I don't see that that week in week out when we play at home and it's really starting to affect everybody. Especially the fans. Carletto has a big hole in the squad and I blame him for not requesting someone to fill that hole. It's Sheva. He left. We had two of the worst years in the recent past. Instead of a replacement we kept hearing about missed chances with Ibra and Henry. Well, Ancelotti can't field them. So, Carlo should have known and addressed the problem before it was too late. He kept saying he had a complete squad and he keeps repeating that. Well, he doesn't. And Milan, the team as whole and all the fans are suffering the consequences. I want an either demanding Carletto with less relax and more desire, or no Carletto at all.

Carlo brought with him a new era and his 6 year is definitely a success. I'm grateful for all we won under him, but I think he reached his peak/limit at Milan and we need somebody new, with new ideas, someone that can motivate the players more and take us to another era of big wins and many trophies.
