[Rossoneri7]

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.

Lippi is a master mind tactician .. That is IMHO, cuz his stats speak for him (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The WC ?? He had the best GK, the best defence (including the DMs), but the attack was mediocre and the midfield, apart from Totti and Pirlo, Italy werent going anywhere.

It was his tactics that won Italy the WC .. Against Germany in the semi final .. Italy were up against the STRONG favourites and they survived by a tactical catanaccio and on extra time he put on four strikers - who achieved double goals to go through (Gross and Piero).

If that game was not typical tacitical disipline of the highest degree in Italian Football then I dont know sh!t.

Lippi at Juventus handed Ancelotti a team of stars - a winning team - one that thrived under Lippi. But ONLY under Lippi did it thrive, that is the type for coach that he is. A mastermind IMHO.

But u have ur own reserves about him .. And each has his own (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)   (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But don't you think that the fact that the attack was mediocre was also down to him? If he is going to get praised for organising his defence well, then he should also be blamed for the attack not working. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

you can't judge a coach from one defeate in CH.L

remember how Milan were eliminated from teams like Deportivo

how Chelsea were eliminated with "the special one" Mourinho on the command

and the list of great coaches that were eliminated countinues....

however, my first choices would be Lippi or Rijkaard

It's not just because of the fact that he got eliminated but the fact that he could have avoided that by using some common sense that anyone here who doesn't get paid the ammount of money he does to do his job could have figured it out quite easily.

IIRC in the home game against Barca Jaap Stam had R10 in his back pocket, so Frank responds by playing R10 through the middle. That move resulted in R10 setting up the goal for Barca, so like I said Frank got one over carlo.

To tell you the truth I don't remember exactly how the goal was scored, but I think it was Barca who cought us on the counter and R10 only had Rino up against him and 'all he needed to do' was flick the ball over to the onrushing Guily who got behind Nesta.

The fact that we were the better team in the homegame should be considered and the fact that our forwards missed sitters cannot be blamed on Carlo.
