Paolo Maldini: Carlo Ancelotti Will Stay At Milan

The veteran defender is confident that ‘Carletto’ will remain at the helm of the Rossoneri...

Milan legend Paolo Maldini will retire at the end of the season and he has admitted he will relish the three remaining games of his outstanding career, including next Sunday’s clash with Juventus.

“Juve, along with Inter and Napoli, plus Sampdoria for a few years, were one of my biggest rivals,” the 40-year-old said to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“After they went down to Serie B, I did not think they would return to the top so quickly. Of course, the fans want to win but you need important investments for that.”

Maldini could have joined the Old Lady at the start of his career, before Silvio Berlusconi became president of the Rossoneri.

“My father knew everything, there was some contact, but nothing happened in the end,” he revealed.

Despite their recent upturn in fortunes, Milan will likely finish another season empty-handed and could part with Carlo Ancelotti.

“Our season was not a failure,” stressed Paolo. "We have 15 more points than last season, we have the best attack and the second best defence. With just two or three high-profile signings, Milan can compete with everyone in Italy and in Europe.

“As for Ancelotti, the club is happy with him, he has a contract and his rapport with the directors is excellent. I’m sure ‘Carletto’ will still manage Milan.

“I still feel good and could have played on, but I’m living this final stage of my career in a relaxed way. I’m ready to say my goodbyes without regrets after 25 years in football.

"My heir? Thiago Silva can do great things, but will need some experienced men next to him, such as [Giuseppe] Favalli.”

So, in the late game today, Muslera didn't have a good day.

Muslera: 5.0- Has been sensational since winning the job from Juan Pablo Carrizzo but will not be happy that he was beaten at the near post by Floro Flores for Udinese’s first goal. Was rooted to the spot on D’Agostino’s strike and had no chance on Quagliarella’s spot-kick.

Not to mention he stood motionless as Quagliarella chipped a shot at the bar...still, it had to come. No keeper can be top class througout an entire season.

Juventus’ chaotic situation bears unsettling similarities with one of the club’s worst seasons ever. Giovanni Spinella remembers it well

I just don't get this.

I did not read it, just the opening sentence:

WHAT THE ****!?!??! OK they've been bad recently, very bad if you wish, but... is this really a chaotic situation!?!? What's wrong with these people!??

Who's watching the merda game?

i am

merda claim a penalty , doesnt look like one and not given either

player change for chievo , a draw would be great but an victory for chievo even better !

Let's not be greedy now

We still have to win tonight, should Inter draw (crosses fingers)

+1 cookie to the donkeys!

So now we're 7 pts behind Inter with a game in hand...

8 points. If we win tonight it goes to 5. And then with 3 games remaining we need Inter to either lose one (something that has only happened 3 times this season) and draw another one to be level on points or draw all 3 of them to get 1 point ahead.

We need to win all of our games for that to happen obviously. It's nearly impossible to snatch the title now but we should at least give it our best and win all of our remaining matches!
