AC Milan - Milanfan.com _ Polls _ Name the New Coach
Posted by: Tennie May 17 2010, 03:49 PM
So, Milan will have a new coach for the 2010-2011 season.
Who do you think it will be?
First person to vote and then post the correct name gets a prize. 
Posted by: servbot May 17 2010, 04:03 PM
Beer and it's not even close.
Yes, I'm thinking about beer on a Monday morning. No, I'm not an alcoholic. 
Posted by: X-Offender May 17 2010, 04:04 PM
I'd say Filippo Galli. He was on Controcampo last night, and even though he didn't leave any firm stataments, you could read it under the lines that he'll be the next coach.
Posted by: nuh May 17 2010, 04:29 PM
i say Massimiliano Allegri i dunno why i can see him coming
Posted by: il_diavolo_mtl May 17 2010, 06:02 PM
agreed there's too much suspicion of his leaving cagliari, and if it isn't for Milan it may be for Sampdoria...
Posted by: Danny May 17 2010, 06:45 PM
I'm an optimist and I choose Rijkaard.
Posted by: d'Arc.LP May 17 2010, 06:56 PM
Marcello Lippi.
Tassoti will be the new coach until the World Cup will and. After that Lippi will be announced the new coach . IMO
Posted by: Bluesummers May 17 2010, 08:10 PM
Galli 100%
Posted by: Dracoris May 17 2010, 08:44 PM
I say allegri b/c he left Cagliari right about the same time Leo was calling it quits
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 18 2010, 06:05 AM
I voted beer...coz that's obviously the solution to all problems.
But otherwise it doesn't matter. We're always third time lucky with the coaches we appoint. The first and second coaches who succeed a successful one don't stay long.
In fact I'm expecting a Juve-esque season for 2010-11. Thank god for Newcastle!
Posted by: Bluesummers May 18 2010, 06:33 AM
Don't worry jack, Dzeko is coming 
Posted by: Zed.D May 18 2010, 12:46 PM
No idea really. my favorites from that list are Spalletti and Rijkaard but I can't see either coming. we'll probably go for the cheapest option since we've become such a cheap club.
Posted by: Dzeko May 18 2010, 01:07 PM
Rijkaard won't come coes of Ronaldhino, may be he come but without his daughter
If u want World Class Team u need a WC Coach
I consider them as one of the best in the world : Guus Hiddink, Avram Grant, Martin Jol and Louis Van Gal

Posted by: Fishdoll May 18 2010, 02:09 PM
I am not a particular fan of any of those coaches but Van Gaal, and he is not likely to leave Bayern.
Also, none of them is a former milanista and that pretty much guarantees they won't be considered.
Posted by: Zed.D May 18 2010, 02:10 PM
How can Avram Grant's name be mentioned in the same line as the likes of Van Gaal and Hiddink is beyond me! come on now...
What do you mean?
Posted by: Fishdoll May 18 2010, 02:11 PM
Haha, you hadn't heard that, zeddie? There was a thing between Rijkaard's daughter and Ronaldinho in Barcelona. That's old gossip.
Posted by: Zed.D May 18 2010, 02:12 PM
No, never heard about it. is that the reason they don't get along?
Posted by: Fishdoll May 18 2010, 02:17 PM
One of them, presumably. From what I recall (liga specalists may know more details or may correct me on this), the main reason was that Ronaldinho was too much into the late night partying and too little into training.
Posted by: Dzeko May 18 2010, 03:37 PM
At least we would have good assistant coach XD

You know, you can say a lot of crap about Dinho, but the guy has good taste 
I would like to see Frankie Rijkaard as well .

(crossposted in the transfer thread)
At a dinner tonight Berlusconi talked about the future coach:
[The Milan leadership consider it very important for a coach to have experience in the youth sector, because it's formative for the coach from the psychological point of view.]
http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/milan/?action=read&idtmw=208071
Looks like it's gonna be Galli.
Posted by: X-Offender May 18 2010, 11:42 PM
Yep, because he's the cheapest. That said, I'd take him over Allegri and Costacurta any day. And obviously Tassoti should be the vice-coach.
Posted by: X-Offender May 19 2010, 08:08 PM
So, apparently Donadoni is the favorite now. Jeez, I don't know what to think. 
Posted by: Fishdoll May 19 2010, 08:22 PM
I'm thinking that I'm naturally wearing Parma or Chievo colors so I could easily blend in there for a year or two.
Donadoni....oy. I am a scared fish.
Posted by: ForzaMaldini May 19 2010, 10:24 PM
Allegri, Rijkaard, vBasten, Galli, Tassoti, Lippi, Donadoni. In all i was optimistic except for Lippi and Donadoni. Now it seems to be Roberto, who clearly came short at the Azzuri and in Napoli.
Although: 5/7 named coaches have a Milan history 
Posted by: d'Arc.LP May 19 2010, 10:34 PM
Now it's just Galli-Tassoti(co), or Donadoni-Tassoni(co) and I dont like them.
Posted by: X-Offender May 19 2010, 11:05 PM
I wouldn't underestimate Galli if I were you. Either him or Allegri would be jolly good.
Posted by: d'Arc.LP May 19 2010, 11:12 PM
I can't find a single reason why to think he is a good as coach. In fact the only thing I know for him is that he has never trained a real team (I'm not talking about Primaveras) and that his Coach carrier stareted 3-4 years ago.
He can't be new Guardiola.
P.S. I like Allegri too, but that's something I consider - too good to be true.
Posted by: Bluesummers May 19 2010, 11:25 PM
imo galli will do allright, but donadoni??? 
Posted by: Fishdoll May 19 2010, 11:25 PM
Galli's been one of my heroes since 1994, so for that reason alone he gets extra cookies.
Galli seems to have worked miracles with the youth program. He's untried with the senior squad but he does know Milan very well. I'd feel more comfortable with him than Donadoni.
Posted by: X-Offender May 20 2010, 12:33 AM
I think Galli is very prepared technically and tactically. He's done very well in the youth sector and has a solid character. He'd be a good choice IMO.

+1
Donadoni= ex player.
Galli= ex player, uefa pro, world recognized youth developor.
Posted by: Dracoris May 20 2010, 06:46 AM
I don't know much about Donadoni, but just looking at him makes think 'failure'.
My choice:
1.Allegri
2. Galli
Posted by: Zed.D May 20 2010, 06:50 AM
I was complaining that I wanted someone better than Galli a few days ago.
Now I'm praying it will be Galli. for ****'s sake, why is Donadoni even linked with us? he's a failure.
The good thing about Galli is that with him we will actually get to see some of our Primavera in the first team - not just as benchwarmers. I don't think ANY of the other candidates would guarantee that.
Posted by: xcube May 20 2010, 07:21 AM
I wish that Milan signed Del Neri before Juve, he's amazing coach and his formation is suitable to Milan

Galliani is hinting that Allegri will be our new coach thank God he said no to Donadoni
Posted by: Fishdoll May 20 2010, 11:53 AM
Thing is, it's not actually Galliani's call. It's Berlusconi's.
Mediaset reports Galliani saying that Donadoni isn't one of the candidates and that he likes Allegri. Mediaset seems to think that while Galliani likes Allegri, Berlusconi prefers Donadoni or Billy.
They also report that Milan will be meeting with Cellino, Cagliari's president. They'll be talking - so Mediaset thinks - about Marchetti (!), Matri, and Allegri (he's still under contract to Cagliari). And that if Allegri ends up being a no, Galliani is okay with Galli-Tassotti - but that Berlusconi prefers Billy to those two. http://www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it/calcio/articoli/articolo32806.shtml
Gazzetta reports in its print edition (reproduced on tuttomercatoweb) that there'll be meetings between Cagliari and Milan at Berlusconi's villa in Sardinia and that Allegri, Astori, Marchetti and Allegri will be discussed. http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/milan/?action=read&idtmw=208310
And finally, Milannews is reporting that Corriere della Sera (regular newspaper from Milan, not the crappy sport paper from rome) says Berlusconi spoke with Allegri on the phone prior to making a decision on whether to hire him. http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/milan/?action=read&idnotizia=25191
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 20 2010, 11:55 AM
As per our polls...it would seem Tassotti-Galli have as much chance of being coach as does a case of beer. MF.com is awesome! 
Posted by: Bluesummers May 20 2010, 12:59 PM
if we get allegri that makes sense. They probably want to keep galli where he is at.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE May 20 2010, 01:25 PM
Saw on Milannews (sourced from: Gazzetta dello Sport) that there is supposed to be a meeting between Adriano Galliani and our new coach to be. They didn't come outright in saying who it is, but they seem to think it might be Allegri.
Anyway, my Italian is the furthest thing from strong, so I opted as usual to use google translate just to get the jist of it.

Their future will be decided soon return, but Marco Giampaolo and Massimiliano Allegri not be undone. The first to speak, the microphones of TMW is the former coach of Siena: "I have no news at the moment. I did not encounter any company these days." Giampaolo is currently in ballot Pasquale Marino to collect the bench of Parma, as stated by Ghirardi our microphones. Allegri also prefers the Pre-tactical, joking a bit 'on: "I do not speak either Milan or Fiorentina. I do not know which league they belong (ed laughs)." The fate of the technical Livorno, however, will be played on the Milan-Florence.
So now Giampolo is in the list too ?
Posted by: Fishdoll May 20 2010, 03:25 PM
No. Giampaolo is on the list for the Parma job.

Posted by: Fishdoll May 20 2010, 03:32 PM

Posted by: d'Arc.LP May 20 2010, 03:46 PM
If this happens Lippi is out.
Posted by: X-Offender May 20 2010, 03:51 PM
Lippi has never been a candidate. It's just the media throwing names at random.
Posted by: d'Arc.LP May 20 2010, 03:54 PM
Yes some weeks/months ago it was.
If we look from that point the only ones name who is not just a rumor are Tassoti,Galli and Allegri.
Posted by: d'Arc.LP May 20 2010, 04:05 PM
Guys you'll hate me and lough at me for doing this, but I want to compare these coaches and I dont have better idea than this :

No, what Galliani said (the interview is linked off of one of my previous posts) is that a decision is likely in a week or a little more.
Posted by: X-Offender May 20 2010, 05:16 PM
Yes, but when asked if the new coach would be announced this weekend, Galliani repiled it's possible.

hmm i hope so cuz i am really getting tired of waiting
Posted by: Linkman May 20 2010, 07:48 PM
Allegri isn't such a bad idea, and if you guys are right about Galli being so damn good at training them youngsters, then maybe we should keep him there .
Posted by: Dracoris May 21 2010, 01:27 AM
I can't translate to save my life so I won't try. BUT Milannews.it has an article saying we are just a step away from Allegri and an announcement could come this weekend!

You get half a cookie for the quick translation, Dracoris.
http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/milan/?action=read&idnotizia=25257
There's the article. As suggested in earlier articles today, Galliani is going to Sardinia to meet up with Berlusconi at his villa there. The new coach is a priority topic and, given the location and other various statements, the assumption is that they'll do the deal for Allegri and that the announcement could be made this weekend or, at the latest, before the beginning of June.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 21 2010, 06:27 AM
The trouble with having a coach who Silvio doesn't like is that any small mistake is gonna get amplified a 1000 times, while any bit of good work is just gonna be par for the course.
Posted by: X-Offender May 21 2010, 11:37 AM
Who said Silvio doesn't like Allegri? He just doesn't know him well. That's why they had a conversation on the phone the other day and that's why he'll be going as well in Arcore to his villa, so Berlusca can get to know him better.
Posted by: Fishdoll May 21 2010, 12:09 PM
For what it's worth, Sky tg24 just had a story about the following few hours being decisive for Allegri to Milan (eg, the meeting in Sardinia is imminent).

Massimiliano Allegri In Pole Position For Milan Job - Report
The Rossoneri have been without a coach since Leonardo announced his departure at the end of the season, and a number of names have been linked with the job. The 42-year-old is now the most popular choice ahead of Mauro Tassotti and Filippo Galli.
The likes of Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Marcello Lippi have also been linked with the post in the media over the past few months.
Allegri has had a successful couple of years in Sardinia leading the Isolani to comfortable mid-table finishes before being sacked in mid-April. His sacking was most likely due to the fact that the club expected him to leave at the end of the season.
The young manager has also been touted as a possible replacement for Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli, should he leave for the Italian national team.

P.S. Sorry if is posted before ...
Posted by: Bluesummers May 22 2010, 03:20 AM
sources in italy say:
It looks like allegri is going to be our new coach guys. It'll be announced on Sunday most likely or as soon as he probably signs the contract.
Posted by: X-Offender May 22 2010, 03:23 AM
Aye, I also think it's a done deal, unless Silvio has a change of heart when they meet today at his villa, but that's unlikely.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 22 2010, 06:35 AM
Gr8! I've always liked Allegri!! To quote Facebook... "I like!"
Posted by: Bluesummers May 22 2010, 10:11 AM
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Allegri, who was given a glowing reference by Adriano Galliani on Thursday, is top of the list of names for the Rossoneri coaching role.
He is expected at Berlusconi's Arcore residence alongside Galliani where both chiefs will present him with their project and details relevant to the role.
Galliani has a penchant for Allegri. He tried to open dialogue with him last year when Ancelotti left for Chelsea, but the move never took shape. It is said captain Massimo Ambrosini has also given the coach the nod.
Berlusconi wants to see offensive, spectacular football, and Allegri's 4-3-1-2 style offers plenty of scope for flair.
Filippo Galli is the alternative if Milan fail to approve the Allegri move.

true, Dinho doesn't fit in a 4-3-1-2
Posted by: il_diavolo_mtl May 22 2010, 10:44 AM
Allegri has always being alot more flexible with rotations though, he doesn't shy away from in-game formation changes as much as carlo/leo. That being said, berlu will, sadly be very influential
Posted by: Fishdoll May 22 2010, 12:18 PM
For what it's worth sky tg24 (italian language tv channel) just ran a story on their sports section about the lunch meeting taking place at Berlusconi's place. They seemed to think that we may hear something today.

Posted by: X-Offender May 22 2010, 12:40 PM
Huh? Wasn't Leo's football offensive enough for him? We basically played with only one incontrista (Ambro) + Pirlo, Seedorf, Ronaldinho, Pato... How's that not offensive? Stupid douchebag.
Posted by: d'Arc.LP May 22 2010, 01:10 PM
The problem is, Berlusconi likes only him self.
EDIT: That means no coach and player is good enough for Berlusconi ... ( as long as he has to pay his wage)

Well, a series of reports on tuttomercatoweb and milannews indicate that the meeting took place at Berlusconi's villa, that it seemed to have gone well, and that nobody's saying anything for the moment but an announcement may be forthcoming very soon.
Posted by: Dracoris May 22 2010, 08:24 PM
Didn't they quote either Galliani or Allegri as saying "Now is not the time." ? That means they have something to say, they are just not saying it woot!
Posted by: X-Offender May 22 2010, 08:39 PM
They only have to agree on the staff, contract and a few minor details, but Allegri will be 100% the new Milan coach.

Allegri is coach for 6 years and we are just about to sign him.
IMO Mazzari or Prandelli would be better choices.
How is possible he didn't fail in Lyons medical examinations ?

lol i don't believe it one bit, just messing around
i still remember coming home from school after having a long exam opening my laptop and seeing that he "failed" his medical, it was kind of heart breaking

Massimo Cellino has effectively confirmed that Cagliari boss Massimiliano Allegri will quit the Sardinians this summer to join Italian giants Milan.
“It’s the best choice for Milan, he is the most complete tactician,” the president of the Sardinian outfit told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
Allegri had talks with Milan president Silvio Berlusconi yesterday after being given permission by Cellino and reportedly agreed terms with the San Siro outfit.
“I didn’t even tackle the issue of releasing Allegri with Berlusconi and [Milan chief executive Adriano] Galliani,” continued the Rossoblu patron.
“It wasn’t needed. Our relationship is excellent and will stay the same.”
But Cagliari are in fact expected to get something in return as highly-rated defender Davide Astori, who is co-owned by the two clubs, is now likely to remain at the Sant'Elia for another season.
“Yes, I’m ready to bet he will stay here,” concluded Cellino.

Posted by: Bluesummers May 23 2010, 11:22 AM
The coach would bring with him all his staff (composed by Marco Landucci, Simone and Stefano Fairies grains), but will probably only the first as deputy. Milan will keep Mauro Tassotti (although at this point will need to identify its role, given that it will be assistant coach) and William Vecchi Old as goalkeeper trainer and Daniel Tognaccini as head of athletic trainers. The rest will be released.
Passing tactical aspect, during the interview that took place yesterday Berlusconi asked to move from Allegri's 4-3-1-2 to 4-3-3, form can enhance the characteristics of Ronaldinho. The Brazilian has done well this season as a third striker on the left, as evidenced by the many goals and assists he scored. Even if the Brazilian is still the dilemma-contract that could not be resolved and could take away more than one reason during the next season.
As for the rose at the releases of joy, there will be more Dida and Rome (maybe even Favalli), there will Yepes, there are also the indispensable Nesta and Pato, whose absence has affected the crucial stage of this season. Could be sold the Dutch Klaas Jan Huntelaar. Be evaluated, the positions of Seedorf, Kakha Kaladze and Massimo Oddo could be sacrificed for reasons of employment, their place would come the spring Strasser, Albertazzi, Verdi and Oduamadi. It is said that Allegri also wants Darmian to return, currently at Padova. In Brazil, Allegri wants Paul Enrique Santos.

Posted by: Fishdoll May 24 2010, 11:35 AM
Milannews isn't saying where they got the information but they're reporting that Allegri's being offered 1 million a year for 2 years, with an option for a third. They also think that there'll be bonuses built into the contract if the club reaches certain milestones. http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/milan/?action=read&idnotizia=25483

Galliani: "No decision on Allegri. No to Lippi, Tassotti can stay"
"If you want Tassotti will remain in place even with the arrival of Allegri - Galliani claimed - it remains for him to decide. Mauro - added - is in Milan for thirty years and was the company could stay there for others thirty.
As for Galli, concluded the manager, "has done and is doing an excellent job leading our youth, where he remained for the next season."

Pellegatti reported on Studio Sport that Allegri has had a phone conversation with Galli about which of the kids from the Primavera could be added to the senior squad. http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/milan/?action=read&idnotizia=25578

Do we think Cellino is the only thing in the way of Allegri being announced?
Posted by: X-Offender May 25 2010, 04:17 PM
Probably, but it's only a matter of time.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE May 25 2010, 04:24 PM
I'm sick of waiting... Just announce it already!
Posted by: Fishdoll May 25 2010, 04:32 PM
They're holding off just to make you suffer, Trini.
Posted by: Zed.D May 25 2010, 04:35 PM
Does anyone think it'll be announced during the US tour?!
Posted by: Fishdoll May 25 2010, 04:41 PM
Maybe? I dunno. Gotta say I don't mind if there's a delay of a day or two if that means Marchetti is included in the deal.

Bah Humbug!

Il matrimonio tra il Milan e Massimiliano Allegri è ormai cosa fatta. Le parti hanno raggiunto l'accordo su tutti i punti discussi nel summit di villa San Martino, al quale era presente anche Silvio Berlusconi. Il mancato annuncio dell'ufficilità del passaggio del tecnico livornese dal Cagliari al Milan è legata a due fattori: il primo è che Allegri risulta essere ancora l'allenatore dei sardi, in quanto Cellino ha depositato in Lega Calcio il suo contratto per motivi riguardanti la licenza UEFA. Il secondo motivo rigurda il prossimo tecnico dei sardi, ossia Pierpaolo Bisoli. L'allenatore del Cesena è in piena lotta promozione in serie B e Cellino sta aspettando la fine del campionato cadetto e dei suoi play-off per poter mettere sulla panchina rossoblù l'ex mediano di Cagliari e Brescia.

The marriage between AC Milan and Massimiliano Allegri has now been designated. The parties have reached agreement on all points discussed in the summit of Villa San Martino, which was also attended by Silvio Berlusconi. Failure to pass the technical ad dell'ufficilità Livorno from Cagliari to Milan is linked to two factors: the first is that Allegri is still the coach of the Sardinians, as Cellino lodged in the Football League's contract on grounds of UEFA licensed. The second reason the next technical Ivana Sacchi of the Sardinians, ie Pierpaolo Bisoli. The coach is full of Cesena fight promotion to Serie B and Cellino is currently awaiting the end of the season younger and its playoffs to put the former red and blue on the bench median of Cagliari and Brescia.

AAHH make it official already!
Posted by: Fishdoll May 27 2010, 06:27 PM
If Cesena win and gain automatic promotion this weekend, then I suspect they'll make the announcement Monday or so.
Posted by: nuh May 27 2010, 08:18 PM
why, what do they have to do with us?
Posted by: Fishdoll May 27 2010, 08:22 PM
Because the Cesena coach will probably take over at Cagliari and he can't do that until after Cesena's season is over.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE May 27 2010, 10:45 PM
Thursday 27 May, 2010
Mauro Tassotti believes the prospect of Max Allegri replacing Leonardo doesn't threaten his position at Milan.
Tassotti was one of the frontrunners for the top job at Milanello, but it appears as though an agreement was reached with Allegri at the weekend.
Milan are currently on tour in North America where Tassotti is taking all the training sessions.
“Whatever decision the club makes, nothing will change in our relationship. I have been here for 30 years and I am very well,” Tassotti said.
When asked about his future, Tassotti added: “These aren't the kind of discussions you have over the phone.
“I will talk with the club and the new Coach when I get back to Italy. The priority is being satisfied with your work in what you do. The rest comes afterwards.
“There is no disappointment on my part. It's clear that when they ask you if you would like to coach Milan, the answer is 'yes'. Then things can take another turn without compromising relationships.”

Posted by: Fishdoll May 30 2010, 09:18 PM
Indeed it is. But whisky is better!
So today was the final matchday of Serie B. Cesena won and have got automatic promotion into Serie A. (So did Lecce. The third team will be decided by playoffs).
Cesena's automatic promotion is a good thing for Milan. Because their season is now over, the Cesena coach is free to leave and take up a coaching position in Sardinia.
And the guy still under contract there would then be free to go other places like Milan.So yay for Cesena.
Posted by: X-Offender May 30 2010, 09:35 PM
Hopefully we'll get the announcement tomorrow.
Posted by: mishie May 30 2010, 10:31 PM
Sooner the better so he can start work on bringing in some players, be interesting to see how the blue and black half of Milan cope with the departure of the messiah, with a sensible market in the right positions i feel we may be able to mount a challenge for Lo Scudetto next season

What I don't understand is why don't be just buy out his contract from Cagliari. If they want to play hard ball, we should as well.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 1 2010, 04:27 PM
How much would that cost though? Would it come out of the transfer budget? I would guess that it would, but I have no idea.
Posted by: Fishdoll Jun 1 2010, 06:33 PM
Maybe his contract doesn't have a buy out clause.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 1 2010, 06:50 PM
milannews.it says its a done deal. Announcement coming soon!
http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=26206
Posted by: Fishdoll Jun 1 2010, 06:51 PM
Good news!
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 1 2010, 06:56 PM
I know right, I feel relieved now, I was hoping for this announcement a week ago.
Posted by: kapa1 Jun 1 2010, 07:29 PM
i hope that after the announcement we will see some action in the market
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 1 2010, 08:20 PM
With coaches its a little bit different. Allegri can buy out his contract at any time as long as he buys it out fully. But how much could it really cost. I don't see Cagliari paying him anything over 1m and we could easily pay it. But whatever it doesn't matter I hope he signs soon.
I'm thinking as soon as he signs, we could see Lazzari within a few days later.
Posted by: mishie Jun 1 2010, 08:46 PM
I'm thinking as soon as he signs, we could see Lazzari within a few days later.
If thats the case why didn't he buy it out when he was first put on gardening leave then?
Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 1 2010, 11:19 PM
It'd just be throwing away money. Why buy out your contract when you can sit around doing nothing earning money.
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 1 2010, 11:58 PM
@Mishie:
The only reason I can think of why Galliani wouldn't want to give allegri money to buy out his contract would probably be the relations issue. I think he still wants to keep a good relationship with Cagliari. Thats my guess anyway.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jun 2 2010, 06:27 AM
^^
Yeah that's the one. Galliani can't stand the idea of anyone hating us.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 2 2010, 03:24 PM
I'm ok with that. It's just good business.
Posted by: Zed.D Jun 3 2010, 10:32 AM
Thursday 3 June, 2010
Milan won't be able to hire Massimiliano Allegri until July because Cagliari aren't prepared to resolve his contract until the last moment.
Cagliari fired Allegri in April on the basis that he had become 'distracted', but the Serie A Coach of the Year is still on their payroll.
La Gazzetta dello Sport understands that Cagliari President Massimo Cellino now wants to make Allegri pay for disrespecting him.
Cagliari have already hired Allegri's replacement, Pierpaolo Bisoli, so there is nothing stopping Cellino from resolving his contract.
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani is prepared to wait because training doesn't officially start until July 20.
Meanwhile, Allegri is set to go to New York on holiday, but he has apparently outlined the players he would like Milan to sign.
At the top of the list is a full-back - either Ajax's Gregory van der Wiel or Tottenham's Gareth Bale.
He has also told the club not to sell Mathieu Flamini who could become important under Allegri.
They're beginning to really piss me off...
I like the last line, though
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jun 3 2010, 11:20 AM
Ahh..the 4-3-1-2 is really on I think.
Posted by: Fishdoll Jun 3 2010, 11:37 AM
Or someone needs to feed Cellino a happy pill.
Posted by: mishie Jun 3 2010, 08:00 PM
or some other pill
really that guy needs to lighten up he has his new coach in place just needs to leave the sour grapes alone for breakfast
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 4 2010, 12:26 AM
Says who? Allegri will play with a 4-3-3.
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 4 2010, 07:59 AM
jeez, what is wrong with Cagliari president. Too many crazy presidents in serie A LOL
Posted by: Suhail 3 Jun 4 2010, 12:52 PM
as long we have flamini on the field its all good whatever formation he deploys
FORZA MILAN FORZA ALEGRI FORZA MAD DOG FLAMINI
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jun 4 2010, 01:01 PM
I actually think Flamini is far better suited to a 4-3-1-2 than a 4-3-3
In any case there's little difference on paper for the way Milan plays. It's probably going to be a goal scoring trequartista anyway who becomes an SS.
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 4 2010, 01:36 PM
If we sign Paulo Henrique or any other AM, then 4-3-1-2 is the way to go. If we keep Ronaldinho or sign someone like Krasic, then 4-2-1-3/4-3-3 has to do.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 6 2010, 07:50 PM
We need to sign a freaking coach. This pit pat dance with Cagliari is starting to tick me off, I can't imagine how Allegri himself feels.
Posted by: mishie Jun 6 2010, 08:26 PM
Content i'd say, he's gone on holiday giving the club his can and cannot sells also his transfer targets and on the 1st of July he'll become coach...don't forget they don't return for pre-season training till July the 20th and i'm sure Galliani and a few agents have his mobile phone number so relax all is in place
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 9 2010, 07:53 PM
On milannews.it, they had said Galliani and Cellino were supposed to meet tomorrow, now Cellino has decided to stay in Miami for a while and is prolonging the negotiation. Awesome.

Just what the hell went down between them? Why're they so mad at each other?
Posted by: Tennie Jun 11 2010, 11:05 AM
Cellino is pissed because Allegri was flirting with other clubs early this year. So he could well make Allegri wait until July 1.
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 11 2010, 02:30 PM
Basically, Allegri stopped caring about Cagliari once they achieved the stay in Serie A at mid-season, whilst Cellino wanted something more, Europa League maybe.
Posted by: Tennie Jun 11 2010, 02:39 PM
I wonder if Cellino is also using his 'anger' as a bargaining tool. Wouldn't surprise me.
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 11 2010, 02:47 PM
Nah, I doubt it. His relationship with Galliani is quite good, I don't think he'd use Allegri as a bargaining tool. He just wants to have his sweet revenge on him.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 11 2010, 03:08 PM
We should challenge Cellino to a Rock-Paper-Scissors match...
Posted by: Fishdoll Jun 11 2010, 03:11 PM
+1 
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Jun 11 2010, 03:19 PM
Cellino s*ck my d*ck :@
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 12 2010, 03:35 PM
Allegri is 5 or 6 days, say Milannews.it
http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=27090
But they also said we'd have him 2 weeks ago, so I take this with a grain of salt.
Posted by: armiss Jun 17 2010, 12:24 PM
Now Allegri is a free man !

Maybe. I'm gonna wait til Allegri's holding up a jersey to decide.
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 17 2010, 07:22 PM
So I wonder if Galliani will do a package announcement of lazzari+allegri and astori the other direction or will he just announce allegri
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Jun 17 2010, 08:29 PM
So, I'm interested now to hear your comments - is Allegri up to the test or is this kind of a Zaccheroni move?
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 17 2010, 09:38 PM
IMO he'll do well. He's a real diamond in the rough and i'm surprised english teams haven't gone for him. He's known for his tactical ability and his ability to build great teams out of scarce resources.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 17 2010, 11:07 PM
I'm excited to see what he can do. His reputation is good tactically as blue said. The only thing that worries me was the big spat with Cellino. Whos to say that won't happen with Galliani in a year or two. Or better, Berlu.
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 17 2010, 11:18 PM
That's hardly something to worry about.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 17 2010, 11:30 PM
The guy quit on his team, which is why he was terminated. I think thats something to worry about.
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 17 2010, 11:36 PM
He quit on his team because he had already made up his mind on moving to a bigger club. I hardly think that'd be the case with Milan. If he will quit us, it will be either because Berlusconi will start jabbering again or simply because he feels he's not up to the job... unless ManU or Barcelona call him.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 17 2010, 11:39 PM
And if he does well with us, as he did Cagliari, that could be the case. England seems very interested in Italian coaches now-a-days.
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 17 2010, 11:41 PM
I think Milan is the maximum a coach could achieve in his career, no other offer could entice him, unless he's a greedy fish ($$$).
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 17 2010, 11:49 PM
Possibly true. My only example would be Mourinho, who won't be satisfied until he wins everywhere. Allegri almost reminds me of Capello though, in a weird way. Maybe we should get him some glasses?
Posted by: Fishdoll Jun 17 2010, 11:52 PM
Is that a speciesist comment?!?!?!?
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 18 2010, 12:53 AM
Haha, no, don't worry about it.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Jun 18 2010, 01:25 AM
Why?
Objectively speaking, yes, sure. But you never know...maybe some of the coaches are Napoli fans and their personal high-point in career would be taking over at Napoli. I've read many interviews with great coaches who stated very surprising things. Like Hitzfeld, who said Switzerland is the crown of his career. Not Borussia, not Bayern, the Swiss team...
Mourinho is a freak and a glory-hunter, he has no home.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 18 2010, 03:15 AM
Haha, I'm not exactly sure why he does....it weird I know. I just get that same feeling of confidence from him I guess.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jun 18 2010, 05:23 AM
Mourinho at the end of his career wants a full trophy cabinet , so he's a nomad. Can't blame him- it's what he wants.
I think Allegri's lack of European pedigree will come back to haunt us. Even Sacchi had played in Europe. But otherwise I find him to be a solid appointment.
The thing is when the season starts we're all like CL qualification would be a miracle, yet when it ends we're pissed that we only got third or got pipped to the title by someone else.
I'm going to stick to the following objectives for next season:
1. Not more than 5 point difference with the title winners
2. At least 3 good youngsters identified on whom we can rely on. (This season: Antonini and Silva)
3. Solve the 20 goal-striker problem (tactically or with new personnel)
4. CL Quarterfinals
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Jun 18 2010, 08:55 AM
I agree with Jack. That's why I fear the Zaccheroni effect; no international matches played yet.
Posted by: Zed.D Jun 18 2010, 10:35 AM
And a winner
If he can win us the Scudetto like Zach did, why not? to win a title with a small name coach is better than to win nothing with a big name one. yes, I'm THAT desperate!
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 18 2010, 10:56 AM
Haha, why do people keep referring to Antonini as a youngster? He's 28 for god's sake.
Posted by: CHU-LIP Jun 18 2010, 12:56 PM
Dida 36, Kaladze 32, Gattuso 32, Inzaghi 36, Seedorf 34, Abbiati 32, Nesta 34, Zambrotta 33, Jankulovski 33, Favalli 38, Pirlo 31, Ambrosini 33, Roma 35, Beckham 35, Oddo 34, Ronaldinho 30
On a more serious note. Maybe people make this mistake of him being from our own youth, and before this season never been a regular and is on a cheap wage?
Posted by: X-Offender Jun 18 2010, 01:20 PM
Probably.
Posted by: Dracoris Jun 18 2010, 07:08 PM
I'm just ready to wake up one day and read: OFFICIAL-Milan sign Allegri.
