Let's keep all match discussions here starting with the Fiorentina game if there is anyone watching. I'll update the title of the thread accordingly

I respect Rino and would love to see him take charge. But in all honesty this team needs a real coach. Look at how Inter blossomed under Spalletti (while at the same time getting the specific Spalletti-looser touch). We really need a seasoned and experienced man to take charge - something Milan hasn't had in ages. Leonardo, Allegri (who turned out fine but limited), Seedorf, Inzaghi, Brocchi, Mihajlović, Montella - it's enough. Bring in someone who has actually won something and who has the know-how.

Agreed, it's what I've been saying for a while now. We have a decent bunch of players imo, the team is definitely the best we've had in a while in terms of quality. The problem is we haven't had a great coach since the Carlo days. We need someone who will be able to build a team with an identity

For me Conte would be my number 1 ahead of even Carlo.

If they're both unachievable I'd look at guys like Prandelli, Hiddink or maybe even Mancini

Agreed.

Our main targets should be Ancelotti and Conte. If we don't succeed in securing one of them we're already in trouble.

But the I would be willing to give a chance to coaches like Prandelli, Rijkaard (good God how low he fell), Ranieri, Mancini, Donadoni, etc.

Prandelli would be first pick for me in terms of that tier of coaches, he's not spectacular but he's a good tactician imo, I really liked what he did with Italy when he was coach

Yeah, like, a decade ago.

Mancini is terrible, his second spell at Inter proved that. But I never liked him even in his heyday.

Prandelli hasn't coached a club successfully since the late 00s, and failed with Italy in 2014.

Rijkaard, as I said, has been AWOL for a decade.

Donadoni has been coaching low-table clubs his entire career.

On paper the first three might be more qualified than Mihajlovic and Montella, but I don't think they are any better solutions.

What's Hiddink doing these days? I've always really liked how he set his teams up, I remember playing his PSV side back in the day and they were a very tough team to play against
