AC Milan – I HATE AC Milan

Suso believes in Gattuso

AC Milan winger Suso believes that former player GennaroGattuso is the right man for the club. The manager has come under intense critics in recent games after AC Milan has made a poor start to the season.

However, Suso believes that he is the right man for the job and that he is sure that the club’s situation will improve as the season goes by. He said that the club is now in a better place following the departure of the Chinese owners and that the club is better managed by the Elliot Management Corporation.

Suso said that the American company has brought in some former AC Milan players such as Maldini and Leonardo who knows the club from within and that this is evident in the way the club is being run.

He said that it was difficult to perform under the Chinese owners as there were so much going on off the pitch and that this was affecting them on the pitch.

“When asked about the club’s current form he said that it will take some time.“ He said that critics are wrong when they target GennaroGattuso as he feels that he is the right man for the job. He said that he understands football well and that you have to see him on “the pitch to understand“ his passion.

He said that the manager has a clear plan on how he wants the club to perform and that it will take some time for the players to adapt to the strategy. Suso said that there are some quality players in the team and that there are no reasons why they cannot win trophies. He believes that the team will improve as the season goes by and that their progress will be evident for all to see.

Radamel Falcao honoured by AC Milan transfer link

Radamel Falcao has said that he is honoured to be linked with a club of AC Milan’s calibre, though he is currently only focused on his job with AS Monaco and Colombia. In a recent interview with Premium Sport, the 32-year-old said: “I read and heard of Milan interest, so it is an honour that a club like that is tracking me. I follow Italian football and know that Milan are the second club in the world in terms of Champions League titles, but at the moment I am under contract with Monaco and am focused only on Monaco and Colombia. But it’s obvious that I like Italy and Italian football.”

The Rossoneri are understood to be eyeing a new midfielder, winger and a striker for the summer transfer window and they were surely be buoyed by the comments from Falcao. Nevertheless, the club are currently in UEFA trouble after their breach of the Financial Fair Play regulations and any penalties levied could hamper their chances of spending on fresh recruits without offloading a few.

Milan spent close to £200m on 11 separate signings during the previous summer transfer window and the move was purely made in an attempt to propel the side into the Champions League. However, the club struggled to come anywhere close to the top-four of the Serie A and they eventually ended the campaign in sixth with an eight-point to the Champions League spots.

As such, Milan will once again ply their trade in the group stage of the Europa League, though they could be stripped off their European place after breaching the Financial Fair Play regulations. UEFA are expected to make a decision on Milan’s European involvement during the month of June and their possible exclusion could be regarded as a huge blow in their pursuit of top quality players.

Gennaro Gattuso Rules Out Another Big Splurge During The Summer

AC Milan manager Gennaro Gattuso has warned the club’s faithful not to expect another raft of signing during the summer transfer window. The Rossoneri were one of the big spenders in Europe last year as they brought in 11 different recruits, but this has not enhanced their chances of finishing in the top four.

The San Siro outfit started the season in a relatively slow fashion, and despite making progress in the second-half of the campaign, and they appear to have fallen short of their quest for Champions League football. Speaking about the club’s transfer plans for the summer, Gattuso said: “There will be very few signings and I am happy with that because these players are some of the best in the world. Some of them will improve.We will dip into the transfer market to sign a few players to help this team, but don’t expect 20 or 30 new signings. It is my duty is to coach the team.”

Meanwhile, Nikola Kalinic was jeered off the pitch during last week’s draw versus Napoli, but Gattuso admitted that he was not pleased with the reception received, he added: “I look at [Kalinic’s] performance and he made five or six incredible movements – he helped us. But I was angry with the whistles – they seemed to me a bit unfair.”

With just six games remaining, Milan are eight points behind AS Roma and Lazio, who are third and fourth respectively, and their chances of qualifying for the Champions League are dependent on their rivals dropping points whilst improving on their form. After going a three-month unbeaten run in the Serie A, Milan have picked up just three points from their last four matches, and their winless streak has been hugely influential on their league position. Milan take on Torino in midweek before facing bottom side Benevento over the weekend.

Gianluigi Donnarumma Urged To Leave AC Milan By Mino Raiola

Super-agent Mino Raiola has reportedly urged his client Gianluigi Donnarumma to pursue a fresh challenge away from AC Milan at the end of the season. The teenager had come under extreme criticism from the fans after he turned down a contract earlier in the summer, but he eventually committed his future to the Rossoneri until the summer of 2022.

In an interview quoted by ESPN, Raiola appeared to entice the 19-year-old to secure a big-money move with a number of elite offers waiting for him, he said: “Gigio made a choice, of staying at Milan, and I respect it. However, if he were to ask me to leave, I would get straight to work because there are big offers for him. In fact, if it were up to me, Gigio would leave Milan.”

CHINESE INVESTORS WANT EMERY

Chinese Investors are reportedly keen on acquiring the head coach of Sevilla Unai Emery for AC Milan. The tactician led the Spanish side to a third straight Europa League triumph against English side, Liverpool last week.

As the Chinese Consortium complete their take-over of the Italian giants, they want Emery due to his impressive record in Europe.

The major problem would that the club president, Silvio Berlusconi wants current coach Cristian Brocchi to continue as he is yet to prove his credentials since taking over from Sinisa Mihajlovic.

The future of interim boss Cristian Brocchi remains in question, with the former Privamera boss having failed to steer Milan into the European spots in Serie A before losing the Coppa Italia final 1-0 to Juventus on Saturday. The latest StanJames betting odds make him te favourite to be in the post come August 2016.

Mihajlovic was sacked in April this year but the former Rossoneri head coach’s deal will conclude on June 30, freeing him to move to another club. The club reached an agreement with him to terminate his contract at the end of next month. The former defender was appointed as head coach on a two-year deal last June but was sacked in April after failing to sustain a challenge for the Champions League places.

Mihajlovic is reported to have met with Milan CEO Adriano Galliani in Rome last week to negotiate the finer details of his contract termination, and the club announced on Monday that a deal had been struck to end his deal a year early.

The club in a statement released read:
“AC Milan will terminate Sinisa Mihajlovic’s contract with the club from 30/06/2016. Everybody involved at AC Milan wishes him the best for his future.”

Mihajlovic is tipped to take over at Torino, with Giampiero Ventura rumoured to be the favourite to succeed Antonio Conte as Italy head coach.

AC Milan recently extended their unbeaten run

AC Milan recently extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to six matches and manager Sinisa Mihajlovic says that the team are looking forward to a peaceful winter break and Christmas.

Milan are searching for the road up and they have done exceedingly well – compared to previous seasons – under the management ofMihajlovic. Milan achieved a 4-2 win overFrosinone to sustain their sixth position in the table. There was the danger of teams like Empoli and Sassuolo overtaking Milan, but this victory helps the team breathe a little. Milan have been looking decent since suffering the narrow loss against Juventus a few weeks ago.

Even though there were the draws against Hellas Verona and Carpi during this period, Milan will remain confident about returning back to European football if they continue this good form. The top three positions of the Italian Serie A have the opportunity to reach the Champions League whereas the next few positions will be awarded Europa League football, which is not bad considering Milan’s position a few years ago. Milan are the second most successful team in the Champions League history after having won the trophy seven times. Only Real Madrid with 10 wins are ahead of them.

The Italian Serie A season resumes for Milan with a game against Bologna in the first week of January.”Over 12 competitive matches we had seven wins, four draws and only one defeat.Certainly some games, such as those with Verona and Carpi, we had to win and we deserved [to win]. With four points we’d be there. But there is still time to recover.With the work and the recovery of injured players, we have a lot of room for improvement. We can take away satisfaction, the important thing is trust.The group is compact and we have shown that,” saidMihajlovic.

New AC Milan signing Luiz Adriano seems good for Club

New AC Milan signing Luiz Adriano claims that he will give his everything for the Italian Serie A club.

The striker has moved from Shakhtar Donetsk, where he spent the best part of the last eight years. Even though he is a Brazilian, Adriano resisted the option of moving to a top European club much earlier in his career. Now 28, he comes to Milan at the peak of his career. He has cost the Italian club around £ 8 million. His first job will be to score a lot of goals and help Milan reach their former glory days.

New AC Milan signing Luiz Adriano claims that he will give his everything for the Italian Serie A club.

The club has only been slipping from the elite list due to significant budget cuts from owner Silvio Berlusconi. This summer, though, the club has been witnessing a little change in the transfer policy, as they have brought in players of real substance. One of them is Adriano and he has scored lots of goals during his time in the Ukrainian league. Even though the Italian Serie A will be a little more competitive than the Ukrainian league, Adriano is confident of being a success at the San Siro. Doing well at Milan will also help Adriano gets some exposure at the international level. He has featured in only four games for the Brazilian national team.

“I’m very happy to be here, and I can’t wait to make myself available for the coach. I worked with a personal trainer in Brazil, so physically I’m fine. I’m very happy to play for Milan, and I’ll give my best for this shirt. Many clubs were interested, but I decided to come to Milan.Why? For the club’s history, and for what they’ve done in football. There’s also a great tradition of Brazilian players here, so I’m happy,” said the striker after his move to Milan.

Seedorf Expected To Leave

It is widely speculated that AC Milan are about to part company with manager Clarence Seedorf, who has failed to deliver European football to the team. Seedorf was appointed as the replacement for Massimiliano Allegri midway through the last campaign. Allegri was sacked due to poor results, which put the club’s immediate future in European football in major doubt. Despite this appointment, the former Milan midfielder failed to turn the fortunes of the club. They finished in a disappointing place outside the top six, which will mean no form of European football season.

This coupled with rumours that the owner Berlusconi is unhappy with Seedorf has increased rumours that the Dutchman will leave the club in the next few weeks. Inzaghi has become the frontrunner to replace him. The former Milan striker is currently working as the youth team coach. He said that he had several opportunities to leave the club, but since Milan have become his life, he ended up staying. He has revealed that he is ready to take up any job at the club, while he is also contracted as the youth team coach until 2016.

Inzaghi’s open statement that he is ready to take over the Milan job is likely to put Seedorf’s future in major doubt.
“Excited by what I’m reading? Who doesn’t get emotional about what they read? Milan is my life and my story. I’ve stopped playing for Milan but I do everything they ask of me. We’ll see what happens, I’m a Milan employee until 2016. I could have left but I wanted to stay because I have a contract here. That’s the path I will follow. If some good news is communicated to me then great. Otherwise, I am proud to continue coaching the Primavera team,” said Inzaghi in a recent interview.

Seedorf Unfazed By Roma Defeat

AC Milan manager Clarence Seedorf has stated that he has no problems with the defeat suffered against Roma, but he is now already looking forward to the Milan derby next week. AC Milan’s five match winning run came to an end after they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Roma. Unlike in previous years, this Roma team have been brilliant this campaign. They would have won the league title had it not been for Juventus. Roma have won 13 out of the 14 matches prior to this encounter. Due to this incredible record, they are set to return to Champions League in the coming season.

Seedorf stated that there is no shame in losing to one of the best teams in the league. Now, he is looking forward to getting his team back to winning ways when they take on city rivals Inter Milan at the San Siro next weekend. This match will be very crucial for the club since it could determine their status in the European competition next season. Inter Milan currently occupy the final qualifying spot, but they are not keen on finishing in the Europa League places. Their manager Walter Mazzarri is thought to be against the Europa league, which will be an unnecessary burden without much financial rewards.

“Now we prepare for Inter…we move forward. I think Roma have won their last 15 home matches (actually 13 out of the last 14). I saw Milan play in a dignified way against a side that have been doing well since the start of the season. There’s no shame in losing against a side like this. They believe strongly in their title chances. We’ve got 15 points from six matches. The team are on the right road,” said Seedorf.

Despite taking over only a few months ago, Seedorf has already been linked with an exit.

AC SET FOR DECISION

AC Milan are set to make a decision on their manager Massimiliano Allegri’s future in the next few days and the manager himself as chosen to remain tightlipped about the situation. AC Milan have had a rollercoaster of the season as they made one of the worst starts in their history.

However, they recovered extremely well in the second half of the campaign to finish in the Champions League places. Allegri said recently that it was too early to talk about his future. There have been suggestions that Allegri would be sacked after the end of the season with former midfielder Clarence Seedorf coming in to replace.
Seedorf is currently playing with a Brazilian club after leaving Milan at the end of last season.

The Italian Serie A is once again expected to see a number of managerial changes. The first one has been the departure of Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri, who is expected to be named as the next Inter Milan manager. Milan finished the table in the third position, but they were extremely successful during the initial years of under Allegri. It was not long ago that they won the title after a long time. The arrival of players like Mario Balotelli has changed the outlook of the team.

“Right now, talking about the future is too early,” said Allegri. “Allegri’s future? We’ll meet on Wednesday and a decision will be taken with the president. We have to see what he wants to do,” said the Milan vice president Adriano Gallaini. Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has said that he will be making a decision on the future of Allegri sooner rather than later. As well as finishing in third position, AC Milan have been reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite being a very limited budget in recent years.
