Frustrated Milan Bosses Chasing Down Lippi - Report The 2-2 home draw against Bayern Munich has reportedly convinced the Milan bosses that looking beyond Carlo Ancelotti is the only way to make a return to top form, and World Cup winner Marcelo Lippi is now firmly on their radar.

Milan have made very heavy weather of securing fourth place in Serie A - securing an almost imperative Champions League spot for next season - and the San Siro disappointment against Bayern has helped the Rossoneri boardroom make up their minds once and for all, report Il Giornale.

Marcelo Lippi, Frank Rijkaard and Macro van Basten are the three candidates being considered, but the World Cup winning coach is the favourite, as much due to his superior experience, more so in Seire A, as the fact that he is a free agent.

The club's senior players - Italian internationals such as Andrea Pirlo, Rino Gattuso and Alessandro Nesta, who have all worked very closely with him - are also said to be backing his appointment.

Lippi himself is said to be open to the idea now, according to a source close to former Juventus coach.

Moreover, the report suggests that he agrees in principle with Milan's transfer philosophy for the summer, and is ready to keep most of the current members of the technical setup.

It is being understood that nothing short of winning the Champions League trophy this season will save Carlo Ancelotti his job.

You really think Spalleti will quit Roma. He wants to do something big with them, and I think he's got everyone's support. I can't see him pulling a Capello on them.

And Mourinho here?? With Silvio? Play with matches in a swimming pool filled with gasoline...why don't you???!!!! I mean if this guy can pick a fight with Abramovitch...let's not even go there...(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'm not questioning his abilities as coach though. Just would a very un-bella calcio. Sure results are everything, but after a point you get tired of it.

With Prandelli...at least you'd have your money's worth from Gila. Though Rijkaard would probably make more out of a R10-Kaka combo than Prandelli. But Franky would ruin our defence.
Tough decisions...


AND WHY THE F@CK AM I TALKING LIKE CARLETTO IS LEAVING???!!! AND WHY HAVEN'T I MENTIONED MVB......AND WHY AM I SHOUTING???!!!

Ok...goodnight people...I think it's the heat.
