Montella Admits Juventus Job is Tempting

AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella has surprisingly claimed that he could be in charge of Juventus one day. The 42-year-old was appointed as the coach of Milan only in the summer.

Even though the campaign has been mixed with bouts of excellent form followed by poor spells, there is a general consensus that Montella has been the best manager for Milan in the last few years. The club have gone to several managers in the last decade.

Montella Admits Juventus Job is Tempting

Even though the campaign has been mixed with bouts of excellent form followed by poor spells, there is a general consensus that Montella has been the best manager for Milan in the last few years. The club have gone to several managers in the last decade.

Massimiliano Allegri is the last AC Milan manager to have won the league title, while most of the current generation managers try to match the achievements of Carlo Ancelotti, who won league and the Champions League with the club during the early part of the 21st century. Montella is as getting the team close as they have been in a while, with fans getting more excited and heading back to the San Siro in their thousands – with growing demand for tickets reported by this website.

Surprisingly, though, Montella has claimed that he would consider the possibility of joining Juventus in the future. Milan would be taking on Juventus in the next league match hoping to shake up the Italian Serie A title race.

However, Juventus manager Allegri has been linked with the job at Arsenal in the summer, should Arsene Wenger leave the club. Even though Allegri has so far dismissed the rumours, there has never been smoke without fire.

Montella has a contract with Milan until the summer of 2018, but he is expected to be given a new deal by the club’s new owners. “A professional doesn’t rule out anything at the start of their career, so why not? When I was 17 there was talk of interest from Juventus, I was young and promising. Then I got injured and the interest was never firmed up. Maybe coaching Lazio would be more complicated given that in Rome I have a house in the other part of the city!” said Montella, who is widely known for his time at Roma when he was a player.

AC Milan wont permamnently Deal with Marco Van Ginkel

It looks like AC Milan is not going to have a permanent deal with Marco Van Ginkel the coming summer.

When Van Ginkel had been loaned out to San Siro last year, it was thought that the Holland player would stay long there.

The Rossoneri were supposed to be quite interested in investing in him, but, his stay there so far has been pretty troublesome. He has struggled to stay fit and as a result, has not played much.

He has just featured 4 times for Milan and the rhythm has been completely missing in his play in those games.

He has just featured 4 times for Milan and the rhythm has been completely missing in his play in those games.

Ginkel was obviously rated very highly during his time at Vitesse, but, coming in the top leagues, he has not had the same kind of influence.

To be honest though, he has had fitness issues and then, he has not had too many games to play either.

He was actually sent to Milan so that he could gain some top level Football experience there, but, the purpose of that deal has not quite been fulfilled.

It’s almost certain now that the young play maker would be returning to West London once the ongoing season is done.

The Rossoneri, in the meanwhile, are exploring their options elsewhere. They are said to have set their eyes on the teenager from France named Morgan Sanson.

Playing for Montpellier at the moment, Sanson has surprised everyone with his holding ability in the midfield. He is too good for his age, that’s what some of the people who follow French Football say about him.

It would be interesting to see how much amount Montpellier demands if Milan approaches them. The sources say it is not going to be less than 7 million Pounds.

Apart from Montpellier, Sanson has played for Le Mans as well for one season.

A.C Milan contnues to boost in ranking table

Ac.Milan is currently positioned at the 7th spot in the Italian League after having secured 25 points in the opening 16 league matches that have been played so far.

The team of Filippo Inzaghi kicked off their campaign in stellar form as they claimed successive victories over Lazio and Parma but after a number of draws and defeats, they have to settle with a position around the middle of the Serie A.

Ac.Milan is currently positioned at the 7th spot in the Italian League after having secured 25 points in the opening 16 league matches that have been played so far.

The team of Filippo Inzaghi kicked off their campaign in stellar form as they claimed successive victories over Lazio and Parma but after a number of draws and defeats, they have to settle with a position around the middle of the Serie A.

The season of Ac.Milan has been fairly inconsistent with a convincing victory in one match and then it’s a disappointing result but even with this inconsistency, Diego Lopez is confident that Ac.Milan is going to finish the season in one of the top spots of the Italian League.

‘’Yes, of course we can finish in the top three, but it will be tough. There are plenty of teams who have Champions League ambitions. Napoli remains perhaps the most credible rival, but Inter and Fiorentina are ascending. Genoa and Lazio are also playing very well’’ Diego Lopez told reporters as he revealed the confidence that hehas on his teammates and in their capability of securing a top spot in the Italian League.

In order for Ac.Milan to actually secure a spot in the higher position of the Italian League, a number of signing might have to be done as there are areas of the squad of Filippo Inzaghi that are in need of reinforcing.

Ezequiel Munoz is a 24 year old defender who performs for Palermo and is rumored to have entered the radar of Ac.Milan’s Filippo Inzaghi. Munoz has a contract with Palermo that expires in June of 2015 but if Ac.Milan are truly interested in signing him and launch a good enough offer, then his contract could be terminated sooner than initially expected.

SEEDORF REVIVAL

The much anticipated revival at AC Milan after the arrival of Clarence Seedorf has not materialised as the club lost their 10th league match of the season after a 1-0 defeat against Udinese during the weekend.

Seedorf rested a number of key players for this match in the hope of keeping them fresh for the midweek Champions League encounter against Atletico Madrid. The likes of Kaka and Mario Balotelli were not available from the start. The move hurt the club immensely after they looked devoid of quality when compared with the Udinese team.

Milan were coming on the back of the 2-0 defeat against Juventus, but this latest defeat has pushed them to the 10th place in the table. Any hope of qualifying at least for the Europa league places has vanished, as Milan look on course to being without any form of European football for the first time in more than a decade. Antonio Di Natale scored the only goal of the game in this defeat. After the match, Seedorf said that there is a bitter taste at the club, but they need to quickly refocus and think about the upcoming match against Atletico Madrid.

Milan trial the Spanish outfit by a 1-0 aggregate score after Diego Costa scored in the final few minutes of the first leg.

“Analyse the stats and you notice that it was a balanced match, with lots of chances on both sides. In terms of individuals, [Mario] Balotelli, [Valter] Birsa and [Cristian] Zapata got some playing time. The result leaves a bitter taste. We need to start again. We have to think about Atletico Madrid. This match doesn’t cancel out all the good things that we did beforehand. If anything we need to continue growing. The international matches had an impact, but I’m not looking for excuses,” said Seedorf.

NIANG GETS SENTENCED

The 19 years old French forward of AC Milan, M’Baye Niang has been sentenced to a suspended 18 month jail sentence after hitting several cars and crashing into a tree with his Ferrari. Some of the players that were involved with the incident filed civil complaints as they were slightly injured because of what the young player caused.

The 19 years old French forward of AC Milan, M’Baye Niang has been sentenced to a suspended 18 month jail sentence after hitting several cars and crashing into a tree with his Ferrari. Some of the players that were involved with the incident filed civil complaints as they were slightly injured because of what the young player caused.

Niang is out on loan at Montpellier as Ac.Milan wants the Frenchman to acquire experience somewhere out of the club. He became the youngest goal-scorer of Ac.Milan when he blasted the ball into the net against Reggina which was back in December of 2012 when Ac.Milan was playing in the Coppa Italia. Ac.Milan later agreed a contract extension with Niang that will be seeing the former Caen player remaining with the Italian club until 2017.

Despite making his name into the history books of Ac.Milan, Niang has not enjoyed the best of times in Serie A as he has been featured in over 25 league matches but still has not managed on scoring a single goal.

Following the news involving the car crash that Niang went through in France, he is now believed to not be a player of interest of Liverpool. The Premier League club was interested in signing the 19 years old player from Ac.Milan during the January transfer window and they were prepared on launching a bid for the French forward but Brendan Rodgers will now be looking for another target in the summer.

Niang attracted the attention of a number of European clubs when he was performing for Caen back in 2010 and it was Ac.Milan the team that managed on arriving first and signed him up.

AC DOING EVERYTHING

Massimiliano Allegri and the transfer guru Adriano Galliani will do whatever is possible in this transfer window to try and help Ac.Milam enjoy a better half of the season contrary to the initial stages of the season.

Keisuke Honda was signed even before the January transfer window was opened and other players are in the list of Ac.Milan as they can use just about any help they can get to not only finish in the higher spots of the Serie A but also in their Champions League campaign as Ac.Milan has to face off against Atletico Madrid in February.

Just as there are players on the radar of Ac.Milan, some of their own players of their squad are linked with possible moves away from the Italian club. Alessandro Matri is a wanted man by Lazio who are trying to get a new addition to the squad that can help out Miroslav Klose.

The German forward Miroslav Klose has only scored 4 goals so far in this season for Lazio which is why they are searching on the transfer market for someone that can boost up their attacking department.

Cristian Zapata has sparked the interest of Manchester United as the Colombian striker was brought in as a replacement for the Brazilian Thiago Silva and despite not having the same technical abilities of Silva; he has been one of the standout player of Ac.Milan in this season.

The 27 years old defender said however that he wants to remain playing in the Serie A with Ac.Milan.

“I am just thinking about Milan. I have a contract until 2016 and I want to stay here.”

Christian Zaccardo is believed to be close on making a move to the Premier League with West Bromwich Albion being his possible destination. Zaccardo wants to make his way to a club where he can get more playing time now with the World Cup only 5 months away from beginning, it may be his best option.

Not Easy to be the coach of AC Milan

Carlo Ancelottil, the former coach of AC Milan, told that being a chief coach at AC Milan is not that easy job. Ancelottil, who is now coaching Real Madrid, spent 8 years as in charge the Milan club before leaving for English giant Chelsea in the year 2009.

While speaking to a leading radio, Ancelottil told that Galliani is the most important person at Milan. The former coach added that is not just a director, but he is also a fan, a person who grew up with these colors and has always done his best for the club. Also, there is the directorial side, as Galliani has experience no one else in the world can boast. He could not tell about what the future holds, but his hypothetical absence would be a huge loss.

Speaking to the radio, Ancelottil also expressed his sympathy for the present under-fire Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri. He told that being a coach of AC Milan is not easy at all as results are not just the only thing that counts. One also has to adopt the philosophy dictated by President Silvio Berlusconi. The manager has to atempt to pursue those objectives as well. Mentality counts for a lot within the Rossoneri camp, even more so than results.

Speaking about AC Milan, we must also state that Milan are reportedly looking for Arsenal contract rebel Bacary Sagna as he is set to be out of his contract this summer.

REPLACEMENTS NEEDED

The Italian club AC Milan have been struggling to replace players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexandre Pato with quality signings. Over the last two transfer windows, the club has lost numerous experienced and quality players.

The Italian club AC Milan have been struggling to replace players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexandre Pato with quality signings. Over the last two transfer windows, the club has lost numerous experienced and quality players.

The AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi promised ahead of the transfer window that funds will be made available for the manager, as Milan look to get into the top three positions in the Italian league. It would provide them with Champions League football – and revenues of £ 30 million – next season. However, Milan have made just one signing the transfer window so far.

The arrival of Cristian Zaccardo from Parma has not been greeted with a lot of excitement from the AC Milan fans. Even though the club are currently in negotiations with the Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli, the manager Allegri has stated that he is happy with the squad at his disposal. There have also been reports that Milan will be ready to discuss the sale of players like Mathieu Flamini, who has never been a first-team regular since arriving from Arsenal on a free transfer many years ago. Allegri has said that he is happy with the squad because the club knows the situation with the number of players.

“I am happy with the players that I have and I see them growing every day. A drought happens to all players and it shouldn’t become an obsession. The club knows what I feel about the number of players in the squad and we’ll see what happens at the end of the month. Abate played very well on Sunday and I was happy with that. Robinho is training well and Flamini is proof that over the course of a year, all players will get their chance,” said Allegri ahead of the match with Atalanta.

AC COUNT THE PENNIES

AC Milan have been extremely cost-conscious in recent seasons, which has led to the departure of players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva along with several other high profile players.

AC Milan have been extremely cost-conscious in recent seasons, which has led to the departure of players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva along with several other high profile players.

They are once again set to lose the likes of Robinho and Alexandre Pato during the January transfer window, which is likely to infuriate the fans even more. However, the manager Massimiliano Allegri thinks that the decision to invest in the youth is the need of the hour. The UEFA financial fair play regulations has come into effect recently, which will be a major hindrance for clubs trying to spend beyond their means.

AC Milan have a lot of debts despite having a wealthy owner in the form of Silvio Berlusconi. For the fans who were hoping that Milan would at least bring in a few high quality players during January will have to be disappointed because Allegri has confirmed that he does not intend to splash the cash. Robinho and Alexander Pato have been fixed only for AC Milan over the years, but the club looks set to sell both the players due to a number of reasons. This would replace the young striker Stephan El Shaarawy as the recognised quality upfront, but Allegri plans to bring in a striker.

“We are on the right track by focusing on youth. We are building a new Milan, so this is an achievement that takes time and passion. The president [Silvio Berlusconi] is right to take this route, as nobody in the current Italian financial crisis can afford wages of €7 million per season and stay within the Financial Fair Play rules. I am happy with the number of points we have so far this season, even though we could’ve had a few more,” said Allegri, whose team are seventh in the Italian Serie A table.
