In my opinion, greatest manager we ever had. And yes, I know who Arrigo Sacchi is.
If I had to pick one manager, it would be Cesare Maldini. He was here for such a short term, but impressed, made that record 6-0 victory over Inter possible.
Of course, names like Nereo Rocco, Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello stand out. Ancelotti follows them, but his Serie A record makes some of the criticism appear spot on.

Unacceptable!
What?
Three Champion finals and the man only got his own thread yesterday!!
Better now then never!
Sky Sport 24: Massimo Moratti tried to convince Carlo Ancelotti to coach Inter, but Ancelotti has refused.
Obviously.
Ha-ha! 
He sure did.
He sure did.
Does Moratti think everyone is a Leonardo in this world?
Moratti is obsessed with hitting at us. That's good, it's beginning to look like the old times 
Right, here's the passage I was talking about. 
Between Carlo and that slimy Alex Ferguson.
Between Carlo and that slimy Alex Ferguson.QUOTE
The first game was against Blackburn, and to tell the truth, the final score of 1-1 did sort of scare me. Then we exploded like an atomic bomb: 5-0 against Portsmouth, 7-1 against Aston Villa, 2-1 away to Manchester United. All magic numbers that made our times table look pretty special.
Our success at Old Trafford was the one that got us the League title, even though in the end Ray Wilkins and I were forced to drink to our victory alone. As is the tradition, a few minutes after the final whistle we went to Sir Alex’s room to drink the usual glass of wine. We walked in, and silence reigned. He sat there staring at a television screen; the set was tuned to a horse race, his greatest love. We were strictly relegated to the background, to some place beyond and behind the background. We stood awkwardly for a while without saying a word, uncertain what to do, and finally did what we had come to do: we drank a glass of wine, to our own health. Bye-bye.
Even though I won each of the three games I played against him that season, I still consider Ferguson to be a master of soccer, a teacher in my life, an example I have always looked up to, a colleague to emulate, and in fact, in some ways, unattainable. (Unattainable in the sense that I don’t have a passion for racehorses.)

^ Yeah, I remember that. The defeat surely got to him.
Aye. Never got myself to really like Alex Ferguson much. 
Good coach, not nearly as good a person!

“I do not want talk about Milan, the final scene was sad,” the former Chelsea boss laments in an interview with Il Giornale today.
“Sometimes I put myself in the shoes of the fans, who have lived through other seasons with the Rossoneri and known evenings with players like Nesta, Cafu and Jaap Stam. I imagine their state of mind..”
Ancelotti on Milan taken from FI.
This is sad and somehow funny for me to read.

Why funny?
Because his club took our stars? I know he didn't sign the players, but that's why I find it kind of funny.
QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Sep 18 2012, 09:37 AM)
Why funny?
Because he is pitying us. He almost feels guilty. The situation is ludicrous.
Well, we all know he loves Milan.
Ancelotti talks about Milan: "I wasn't expect this Milan. All the departures cannot be an alibi, on the contrary, they must be a stimulus. Obviously the team lacks the quality of last season, but losing 3 games out of 4 is unacceptable. It was obvious that this season would be more complicated, because the squad lost some very important players. The core of the team must be reconstructed. In such a moment, it's important to remain united and not lose faith".

Straight from the book, eh? 
The reality is polar opposite, and will be unless we somehow go on a winning streak. And the only hope of that happening was to get all/most of our players back. With Pato's injury extended again, these next couple of matches should be more interesting off the field, than on it. That's the sad bit.
What Ancelotti said about Milan is bookish, yet 100% correct. But like I said, things couldn't be more different.

Celentano e Carletto 
Looks like Carletto will be replaced by Benitez, who is seen by Del Bosque as "one of the best coaches in the world". IMHO, Ancellotti is much, much better than Benitez, but ...

Sounds like RM thinks so (or maybe they just feel they need a change). IMHO, it is a bad call. I understand they need to appease the fans, but surely they can find someone better. Then again, with the players they have it is real hard to screw up.

Agreed, Benitez is a good cup coach but other than that, he's pretty terrible imo

Well what's new? Just like last summer's decisions to sell Di Maria and Alonso were brilliant moves and replacing them with more marketable players. It's typical Perez tbh, the Golactico thing has proven to be a failure more than once now. Carlo had a good mix and balance last season and it was completely shaken up by those signings
Carlo coming Galliani don't promise **** you can't deliver..hes taking a year out for surgury why manage us..although i would love Carlo back. Inzaghi goes to Salusso and prolly going to do well there with an actual team.
What is Salusso? Is it Sassuolo? Do they really have an "actual team"?
Anyway. I think Benitez is a bad pick. I thought it would be Klopp. But well, Han is right on this one. It's typical Real. But not just Perez, it's overall Real. One would have thought that winning the Decima, something a line of coaches managed not to accomplish, would give you some credit. But no. They decided to cut of the head by selling Di Maria and now dismissing Ancelotti. Instead of building on their wins (like Milan did in the 80s and the 90s, and again with Carlo), they decided to press the restart button and take God knows how many more years to win what they already dream of.
No respect, no credit. That's what always appalled me with Spanish football in general.

U.S. Sassuolo Calcio
cheeky rascal.compared to ours they are a team yes in my opinion and Inzaghi was far better off going to them or staying with our youth team then thrown into the deep end of this season. Also on the topic of U.S. Sassuolo Calcio they actually look like they play for each other. Some of ours don't look they give a ****.
Berardi always kills us and will do so for years and years in a Juve shirt. 
Yeah. It depends on Juve whether they'll remain a team or not. But yes Ry4n, they had a better season and overall looked to gel this year.

Nothing official on the Bayern website, but ESPN and Di Marzio are reporting that Carletto has been sacked by Bayern.

I'm really surprised by this. He must have really lost the team. But it's so unusual for that to happen. Probably the first time in his career, his team hasn't been dead loyal to him.
Well the only one to have publicly not voiced support is Robben. But yeah, things seem to have been a mess in Munich. Bayern is an aging squad that wasn't really reinforced. Lahm retired at the end of the season. There's also the behind the scenes shenanigans between Rummenigge and Hoeness and they didn't really replaces Mattias Sammer until hiring Brazzo a few weeks ago.
So yeah, some of it may be on Carletto. However, the players aren't without blame and the management sure isn't.

Very strange feeling. I've never imagined him taking over such a "guerrilla" club/team.

Me neither. But truth be told, over the past year he's been pushed into the tier 2 of coaches. People are wondering if he really is the guaranteed winner that almost all big clubs want. So this is a great chance for him to re-invent himself and establish something.
From Napoli's perspective, a deep run into the CL plus a coach who can attract top talent will be interesting for sure. I doubt they brought in Carlo to challenge for the league.
As things stand, one of Sarri or Conte will be available next year. I like it, in case the Gattusso project for the new season goes South.
Sarri will sign for Zenit.

He could win them their first scudetto since the 80s, or CL perhaps. He has a three year contract. He will revolutionize that club.
I reflect on Madrid, when he took the helm, Zidane was his understudy at the same time. He layed the foundations and Madrid are the alpha team of this decade.
I also reflect on Milan and his revolution taking the team to get addicted to CL. It was DNA, nothing more personal.
Carlo will do well at Napoli. He has already studied them throughout his time on vacation. Time will tell.

There's no guarantee that either Conte or Sarri will be available. As much as I'm behind Rino and admire the work he's done. I think the renewal was rushed, and simply a gut reaction to affirm that they did something right finally. If things go south next season, we don't have any guarantees that Conte or Sarri would be available or even willing to come on board. I'm afraid we shot ourselves in the foot once again here

Really? What a waste!
I think Zenit appointed Semak. So no.
Yeah, Sarri is going to Chelsea last I read.
With Zidane resigning, the coaching marry-go-round just got very interesting. Conte will be available, but I can't see him at Real. Pocchetino is also being linked with them
