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.

I know quite a few(not just on this board) who want rid of carlo.

As for replacements, either Frank Rijkaard, Lippi or Mourhino(outside shot). Of those three the one who would bring us the most silverware is Mourhino, but he would be too outspoken for Milan.

Didn't mean it like no one else wants him out, just that you are probably the one that wants him out the most. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Out of the 3 you mentioned I would only want one, and that's Mourinho, who we all know will probably clash with Silvio.

Lippi I don't like, I'm sorry, and imo his decisions and formations can be more infuriating then Carlo's at times, and apart from the success at Juve he hasn't achieved anything that is big (I don't count the World Cup as his big achievment).

Rijkaard, we all so what happened against Liverpool and how his lack of tactical knowledge and COMMON SENSE cost Barca the first leg at home, where a good coach would actually consider the fact that it is a 2 legged competition. Carlo has made some blunders in his past but nothing like that.
