Also, I think it's a big mistake to be close to your players. He's friends with them and while I'm not a coach I've heard from numerous managers that the two roles are incompatible, they can't all be mistaken. You can't be very strict when you want to be close to them. Also, when you never punish them for their bad performances and let them feel secure about their place it's only normal that they'll get complacent.
Milan just like big family. I think not only Carlo close to players. And i Think it is veru good. It's our squad. I can remember Cannavaro saying that Carlo like father for his players and he is fantastic coach.
