mourinho and Scolari are out of the question so name people that are available and that u think we really have a chance of geting in the future

my pick would be Marco van Basten
i think he would jump at the chance of being milan manager

I wouldn't mind

Posted by: morgoth Sep 5 2008, 11:54 AM

Right now, I think Rijkaard is better!

Posted by: Kaka Is Brilliant Sep 5 2008, 02:59 PM

Mourinho, Capello, Van Basten, Gus Hiddink spring to mind

Posted by: Giancarlo Sep 5 2008, 05:34 PM

I don't know if him and Ronaldinho get along too well...

I'd prefer Van Bastien myself... Capello... big maybe...

Posted by: Tennie Sep 5 2008, 05:40 PM

MVB is the only non-Italian Milan striker I've ever really liked. He was a god as a footballer. As a coach? Not so much. If I had to pick a former Milan player to replace Ancelotti as coach, it'd easily be Capello. That said, I'd prefer Rijkaard over MVB and would be really interested in the possibility of one of the newer Italian coaches (Galli/Evani/Billy) maybe taking over. NOT Donadoni.

Posted by: kurtsimonw Sep 5 2008, 06:01 PM

I'd want, Jose, Mourinho or the Special One.

Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 5 2008, 06:28 PM

Well, you can forget that name ... He is not a Milan player, and above all he coached the merda. Never gonna happen

Posted by: kurtsimonw Sep 5 2008, 06:31 PM

Don't say that!

Posted by: acid911 Sep 6 2008, 01:40 AM

Oh no, not this guy. Or we'll be limited to semifinal appearances in tournaments, and never actually win anything!

Posted by: vahid Sep 6 2008, 01:16 PM

He won 6 Eredivisie,4KNVB Cup and 1 European Cup

Posted by: zdrossoneri Sep 6 2008, 02:00 PM

I've had enough of Carlo, I'd like to see an attack-minded coach after him and there are few Italian coaches who actually like attacking football... Spalletti is an exception and he's the man for me. after him Prandelli. and a big no to Capello. though with him titles are sorta guaranteed, his football is not entertaining at all! (remember pre-Calciopoli Juve?!)

From non-Italians, Rijkaard... and maybe Van Basten (though he's not proved himself yet)

From those who have had no ties with Milan in the past, Zico and Scolari.

In order:

Spalletti/Rijkaard (I'm alright with either of them replacing Carlo but Rijkaard obviously has the upper hand as he's a former player and jobless right now)
Prandelli
Van Basten
Zico
Scolari

Posted by: acid911 Sep 6 2008, 02:06 PM

Scolari is out of the question. Zico is in it. I wish we signed him, the guy is a decent coach.

Posted by: Tennie Sep 6 2008, 02:07 PM

Interesting choices, zd. Thing is, I don't think any non-Milan related coach will be hired. So...Rijkaard from your list, then?

For what it's worth, I think Prandelli is the best coach in Serie A. Have tremendous respect for him.

Posted by: zdrossoneri Sep 6 2008, 02:26 PM

What's wrong with Big Phil? OK, I know what's wrong, but he's a great coach. it'd be interesting to see Mourinho vs Scolari!



It seems so... I mean, why would Roma let Spalletti go? or the Viola releasing a coach who took them to the CL and is loved by its fans? Rijkaard is the most probable option I think. I've actually seen his name being mentioned on our website sometimes...



He really is a gentleman and a great coach, but I like Spalletti's football more. it's very modern and beautiful. no wonder he's been selected as the best coach in Italy for two successive years.

Posted by: acid911 Sep 6 2008, 03:04 PM

Isn't Big Phil managing a London-based club that goes by the name of Chelsea? Once he leaves them, he's more than welcome here. He'll do well with our Brazilians contingent.

Posted by: Bluesummers Sep 6 2008, 09:12 PM

reading some of the posts leaves me in complete and utter shock. Some of your pics are outstanding but some of them leave room for more. I mean the coaches you all listed are great but are they really worthy to be carlo's heir.

There is only one coach in my opinion that can even come close to grasping the required potential and talent for our great club. This is the only coach worthy of carlo's replacement.

his name is...

HELL NO !!

I got dibs ... But I might be able to get you on City's bench

Posted by: Bluesummers Sep 7 2008, 05:46 AM

please lets not compare mourinho level coach(me) to mancini level caoch(r7) I got skills that make the club all the dolla bills. so chill take a pill and maybe a dozer will come and hook you up with the big phil.

Posted by: zdrossoneri Sep 7 2008, 08:28 AM

So is Mourinho but some named him. that's considering the leave their current teams and join us!

I thought you didn't like his attitude (punching people, encouraging his players to kick the opponent, etc.)

Posted by: acid911 Sep 7 2008, 08:44 AM

Oh okay. And to answer your second question, I can live with it, as long he wins us some trophies. He's a darn good coach, that's for sure. What's his record in the World Cups, 13 consecutive victories, is it? I know it won't happen, but if given a choice between Zico and Big Phil, I'd have a very hard time choosing.

Posted by: morgoth Sep 7 2008, 03:16 PM

Oh I forgot Billy

Posted by: Tennie Sep 7 2008, 04:01 PM

I'm wondering if there's any particular significance in Tassotti giving that interview yesterday. I don't recall him doing long interviews like that at all. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if it's a hint of management changes to come.

Posted by: agenth Sep 7 2008, 06:45 PM

is it just because MvB was a rossonero that so many want him back here? (not to sound blasphemous... but)
I don't really think MvB's appropriate to coach Milan

Posted by: Tennie Sep 7 2008, 07:35 PM

MVB was a god as a footballer (sorry, dst!). Not so much as a coach. I'd prefer Rijkaard over MVB if a Dutch alum were to take over for Ancelotti.

Posted by: Soldier Sep 7 2008, 07:50 PM

Well For Now, I"ll Stick With Ancelotti.
Next year, Put Poalo Maldini as Head Coach

Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 7 2008, 10:29 PM

aha .. and what was dozer again ?

Posted by: kurtsimonw Sep 8 2008, 12:04 AM

Don't encourage him! That word is becoming one of my least favourite.. ever.

Posted by: sakhratul Sep 8 2008, 03:16 AM

if im not mistaken, maldini doesnt want to get involve with football management once he is retired right?? i sure do want him to become a milan manager..

other than dat.. arsene wenger could be a good choice as well..

Posted by: Tennie Sep 8 2008, 03:20 AM

Maldini has stated many times that he doesn't want to coach. I'd love to see him doing something with Milan management though. Maybe Galliani will retire?

All these non-alumni suggestions are interesting. Thing is, I don't think Ancelotti's replacement (whenever it comes) will be an 'outsider' -- meaning, I think the new coach will be someone who played for Milan at some point. That doesn't narrow things down a whole lot as many former players are now coaches, but that's part of the club's tradition.

Posted by: acid911 Sep 8 2008, 06:20 AM

Yes, and I'd prefer it that way. Maldini can do great things as a coach, but he's made a wise decision seeing how his father was heartbroken after the defeats in France 98 and more.

Posted by: morgoth Sep 8 2008, 02:47 PM

That would be a dream coming true

By the way, I think MVB is an over rated coach he played a very offensive football in the last Euro and impressed a lot, but I don't think that kind of football will last an entire season. He lost his last match against Willem 2-1, in the second half he did something you only see in PES, 3 substitutes in 3 minutes

Posted by: kurtsimonw Sep 8 2008, 06:02 PM

MvB did an okay job at the Euro's. He made some very questionable subtitutions though.

Posted by: Bluesummers Sep 9 2008, 01:34 AM

please lets stop this meaningless discussion. When carlo retires in 2010, i'm be 20 years old and a suitable cadidate for the job. And whats with this tradition of players coaching, i'm gonna be a fan coaching so its all good dozers

Posted by: Tennie Sep 9 2008, 01:39 AM

The fish doll will hurt you if you keep using that term, Blue.

Posted by: Bluesummers Sep 9 2008, 02:26 AM

LOL

Posted by: han2503 Sep 9 2008, 12:06 PM

Put it in the swear filter Tennie.

That way we'd only see this *****

Posted by: vnata001 Sep 9 2008, 05:29 PM

im surprised arsene wenger's name hasn't been raised..just read some random speculation he will come to us... but i think he'd be superb at milan

Posted by: Tennie Sep 9 2008, 08:04 PM

Not gonna happen, vnata. First, he hates Milan (see comments made last year). Second, he's not a former Milan player.

Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 9 2008, 08:11 PM

The second should be first, and that should be that

Posted by: han2503 Sep 9 2008, 08:44 PM

Personally I don't believe this whole former Milan player BS. If so we're really limiting ourselves to practically 3 coaches, Donadoni, Rijkaard and Van Basten and imo, neither of them are good enough and a step down from Carlo.

If our management have half a brain they would chose a coach based on credentials not his past history with the club.

And it's pointless to bring up Baresi, Billy and Maldini since non of them has ever coached, and a club like Milan need an experianced coach

Posted by: kurtsimonw Sep 9 2008, 08:52 PM

I would like Rijkaard to be honest, he did a good job with Barca. By no means is he a worse coach than Carlo, and he seems to have more ambition. He tries to win everything he enteres, with it be La Liga, Champions league of the Coppa. He tries to go out and win games, while Carlo seems more intend on defending on trying to sneak a goal here and there. He's by no means worse than Carlo for sure.

Posted by: Giancarlo Sep 9 2008, 08:55 PM

Rijkaard is too lax in my opinion and I heard he and Ronaldinho had a major falling out towards the end...

Posted by: kurtsimonw Sep 9 2008, 08:58 PM

That was more to do with Ronaldinho putting on weight and being lazy than anything. Most coaches would have done the same.

Posted by: vnata001 Sep 9 2008, 09:36 PM

i don't mind the idea of rijkaard, i think it would be really cool if he were to return to us actually, cuz this is where he belongs and he's a proven winnger..BUT, rijkaard and ronaldinho together doesn't sound like that good of an idea only because of the little falling out they had..with that said they DID win the CL together.

Question...is this "coaches must be from within the milan family" thing an official policy? or is it just kind of unspoken rule..

Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 9 2008, 09:38 PM

Strange, but I too think Franklin should take over after Carlo. After all he had won a lot with Barca and has done well.

I think at Milan, it is a more closed environment, the team stays as a team. Not many transfer activities which leads to a very stable working environment.

His past at Barca caused him a lot of bumpy roads, and some might even come out and say that Ronaldinho was the key reason to Franki's success in Spain ... Which I agree with to an extent, but the whole team needs to follow a balance and that needs a coach to implement. Now others might say it was down to the magical wonders of Ten Cate ... Regardless, he is a cleaver tactician and knows how to manage the pitch (as he did in his playing days under the guidance of Sacchi then Capello).

Posted by: Tennie Sep 9 2008, 09:43 PM

If Frankie comes, then he's got to have an assistant who's VERY good at people management, because it seems to me that it's his big weakness.

Vnata, the milan alum thing is a strong unwritten rule. There are occasional exceptions (Sacchi being the most successful of these) but generally it's someone who's played for Milan (eg Capello or Ancelotti).

Posted by: zdrossoneri Sep 9 2008, 10:39 PM

That must be Billy. he has a scary charisma.
