AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani said Thursday that the club's coaching situation could be clarified as early as Monday if a spot in next season's Champions League has been secured.

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has been linked to possible moves to Chelsea, AS Roma and Real Madrid in the offseason, while Marco van Basten and Luciano Spalletti are rumored to be front-runners for the San Siro job.

"I hope to be able to say something on Monday, because then we would have qualified directly," Galliani told the club Web site.

Galliani insisted that he had not spoken to anyone else about the coaching job.

"We have never thought about any coach and we shall leave it till the end of the season and then we will see," he said. "At Milan there's no chaos. We have clear ideas and we will communicate them at the end of the season."

Ancelotti has regularly denied that he is leaving Milan, insisting that he has a contract with the club until 2010.

...the motivation problem is bigger then Carlo. I'm in a point were I dare saying that it's possible we never will solve this problem; the Maldini game is one example. Just the sole match should have been enough, with or without "the idiot" Carlo to be motivated 100%. But again - NO!

I agree that sometimes they appear to lack motivation. I just don't know why you bring up the Roma game. The players looked motivatied enough to me, we may have lost, but we didn't play as bad as people would like to make it. We did have loads of chances, far more than Roma. It's not like you miss chances, make silly free kicks etc. because you lack motivation.

There are players that are constantly playing at 50%... Seedorf, Pirlo and Kaka just don't do what they are supposed to do. When the coach is not showing them they should do more (and the only way to do so is to bench them) then that's how they'll keep playing. Maybe it's not possible to get them motivated but we don't know if that's true because Ancelotti has NEVER tried!

You really think they were motivated against Roma? I certainly do no agree.
