OFFICIAL: ANCELOTTI QUITS MILAN Sunday 31 May, 2009
Carlo Ancelotti has announced he is leaving Milan this summer "by mutual consent,” but refused to confirm a deal with Chelsea. “In agreement with the club we have decided to terminate the contract a year early,” he said after the 2-0 victory at Fiorentina secured automatic entry into the Champions League. “My wonderful experience with this side ends today. I thank all the players, directors, fans and everyone involved. “I think it ends in the right way and is probably the right choice for both of us. The respect and affection remains with all the people who over the years participated in this adventure.” The split has been on the cards for some time, but Ancelotti continued to insist he had not lied when he said he was “100 per cent” sure of staying. “We spoke about it after the game with [Vice-President Adriano] Galliani and [President Silvio] Berlusconi. We decided together to make this decision without problems. We part in sync and with no disagreements.” He is expected to join Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, especially after writing in his book about a meeting with Roman Abramovich. “I cannot officialise my future because I do not have an agreement with any other club.” President Berlusconi did not always support his Coach in public, but again Ancelotti refused to criticise the patron. “I have great respect and love for President Berlusconi. We've had a few disagreements over the years, but this is the day to thank him for eight wonderful years of my career. “He let me spend nearly a decade at the helm of a great club that was at the top of world football, so my gratitude goes beyond the odd phone call. “The decisions were made at the end of this season. It was a complicated campaign and we left it two months ago with the agreement we'd make the decision after the final game. That's what we did. “I hope you'll know what my future is soon. London is not necessarily the guaranteed next stop.” |

QUOTE (Locke Lamora @ May 31 2009, 05:15 PM) Maldini has just played his last game ever and you're moaning about a tennis match... True. However as the Wachowski brothers put it 'Everything that has a beginning has an end'. Don't get me wrong, I am very sad Maldini played his last game, but at the same time, I have a passion for tennis and it was just such a shock that Nadal lost today to Soderling. I mean SoderWHO?

"Today my beautiful Milan adventure has come to an end"
Tassoti & Galli will be Leonardo's assistants, probably. |

It's obvious it's going to be Leonardo. did you see how passionately Galliani hugged him every time we scored? also, there was a strange kind of smile on Leonardo's face every time the camera zoomed on him!
I hope they know what they're doing! |

This could either work Spectaularly (as whats happening with Pep at Barca), or it could spectacularly backfire. Time will tell
Regardless, Grazie Carlo! |

Time will tell Regardless, Grazie Carlo! I guess with a right set of players (younger XI with less unmotivated or underperforming champions) he may succeed. if we're emulating Barca, let's do it right! A CB, a full back, a midfielder to replace Zee and a big striker (plus all of our current players healthy and ready to go) would do the trick IMO.

I guess Galliani will try to sign Van Basten or some other coach till late august. Leo is simply a bad choice at this point. I hope I'm wrong.

QUOTE FAREWELL CARLETTO!!
5/31/2009 7:35:00 PM An emotional Adriano Galliani announced the Rossoneri’s turning point: from tomorrow the new coach will be Leonardo. With regards to Ancelotti, the wish is that one day he can return on the Milan bench. FLORENCE – These are the declarations of the Rossoneri’s general manager, Adriano Galliani, at the end of Fiorentina-Milan: “It was a great game, but after all with Carlo on the bench we rarely get the big games wrong, we have always trained at our best to face them. Now let’s think about the next Champions League draw, we will surely be in that of the top eight in Europe and this is a thing that should fill with pride all of our fans, even before us directors. “Right now I’m very excited for Paolo Maldini’s farewell and Carlo Ancelotti’s good-bye: yes, the latter it will be just a good-bye, because the coaches can always return, whereas the players at the age of Paolo no, even though I continue to try to convince him not to stop. “With Carlo Ancelotti these have been fantastic and marvellous years: eight years, eight trophies. Of common agreement, we have decided to anticipate of a year the natural expiry of his contract, but our friendship and his closeness to the club will continue. We hope, in some years time, to see him again on the bench with us and maybe to win other Champions Leagues with Carletto as a coach. A thing is certain: when he will return, he will do better than Sacchi and Capello!” “We have never contacted any other coach, we told ourselves that the alternatives would have been only two: or continuing with Ancelotti or Leonardo. With regards to the Brazilian, we love our house coaches, and Leonardo undertook the same professional path of Capello. I wish him the same luck, quality and success of Capello! The presentation of the new coach will be tomorrow at San Siro at noon.” |

With competition from Roma, Juve and Inter domestically and everything imaginable internationally. |

i also like that both him and maldini are leaving together. i think that will help with the changing of the guards. can't wait to see how we look next year...even more glad that maldini and carlo got to go out with a win and qualifying us for CL. |

Forza Leo. FORZA MILAN!!! 100 % true... It would be so ungrateful to not appreciate everything the guy been offering to Milan and all the titles that we won with him... If there were some failures, the reasons of these were not fully his. What do u expect from someone who asks for a defender and the club bring him a playmaker... He asks for another defender then the club bring another playmaker... What Ancelotti did with Milan cannot be ealisy done by others. The Stability he created at the club whereas other coaches would have gone crazy about the Club's decisions is to be appreciated. Neverthless, Milan need new blood and not from the coaching side only but from the starting 11 to say the least, Million Thank You Carletto, All the best in your new adventure wherever it is...

@ Trini
I don't think it was a painful 8 years but a painful last 2 years. but yes, he's gone and even I am not criticizing him anymore. it's over. Carlo is in the Club's history pages! if we're going to remember him, let's remember him for the good things he did. that sounds pretentious and lame, but I mean it! |

QUOTE (Zed.D @ Jun 1 2009, 02:15 AM) @ Trini I don't think it was a painful 8 years but a painful last 2 years. but yes, he's gone and even I am not criticizing him anymore. it's over. Carlo is in the Club's history pages! if we're going to remember him, let's remember him for the good things he did. that sounds pretentious and lame, but I mean it! +1 btw - Good post too Mario, I agree with you as well! |

And we will. Hope we'll meet in the final, but with our luck, a group stage clash could also be possible.

Adio Carlo ...
I wish him immense success on his new journey. Those wonderful years that he gave to Milan, I hope he succeeds in bringing it to each and every club he is at. He is truly a World Class tactician who needs no introductions. Ciao Leonardo ... A rockie, much like Capello or Sacchi, he has BIG shoes to fill and I hope he creates the right sparks to steer the team in the right direction. I wish him luck and hope that this new era at Milan is a step higher. Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) |

Thank you and goodbye Carlo , at least now I can dream watching Pato on the pitch and Seedorf on the bench............
But anyways , Carlo is a world class coach and one of our best coaches ever , I wish him luck at Chelsea and I hope we play against them next season ( and thrash them , 10 - 0 is enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) ) . Also , it was good ( good , lol wtf , its only for Carlo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) to see him and Maldini (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) leaving together this will surely see a completely new Milan and a change was really required at this period . I don't know if Leo is ( err....was ) the best option but at least this will bring in a change and maybe Seedorf doesn't get the license to flirt with him............ .

Look at Carlo's face when he's holding the shirt in the beginning of the clip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) he looks happy like a child. that smile is simply priceless, something I hadn't seen on his face in years!! Edit: man, his English is terrible! wouldn't that irritate the players? I guess he'll have to spend more time on English lessons than Chelsea in the next two/three months..

QUOTE Ancelotti Wants Milan's Pato & Portsmouth's Glen Johnson At Chelsea - Report The duo head a long list of players being linked with a move to the Blues this summer following the Italian tactician's arrival on Monday... According to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, newly appointed Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has identified Milan's Pato and Portsmouth's Glen Johnson as his top transfer targets. A whole host of players have already been linked with moves to Stamford Bridge, including Franck Ribery, Kaka, Emmanuel Adebayor, Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf, David Beckham and Xabi Alonso. However, it is claimed that Ancelotti has identified Pato and Johnson as the additions required to assemble a Blues squad capable of winning the Champions League. Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva, better known as Pato (which in English translates as 'the Duck'), is one of the most highly rated young strikers in world football. The 19-year-old has already won six caps for Brazil, scoring once, and has found the back of the net 24 times in 54 Serie A appearances since moving to the Rossoneri from Internacional for €22 million (£19.6m) in 2006. Johnson, meanwhile, was the first signing of the Roman Abramovich era at Chelsea, joining from West Ham United for £6m in 2003. Despite scoring four goals in 69 appearances for the Blues, the pacy right-back was shipped out to Pompey on loan first in 2006 before making the move permanent a year later. Apparently, Chelsea have already launched a bid of €34.8m (£30m) for Pato, and will lodge an offer in the region of £12m for Johnson. HANDS OFF THE DUCK!!

I bet my house that Pato is going nowhere. Even Pippo leaving sounds more possible to me and it's something that surely isn't going to happen!

No it's because we've become a team fighting for CL qualification so automatic qualification is a big thing! |

Yes... If you're talking about Milan of a couple of years ago. People would have been appaled if we even got third and even second. Now we're scraping for points to get into third and even 4th spot. |
