Christian Pulisic at AC Milan

Nobody puts as much stock into friendlies as we Americans.

 

Respectfully, it's a couple weeks until the WC. These matches matter.

 

[Nicolo Schira] Luka Modrić has reportedly decided to retire from professional football after the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The midfielder was deeply disappointed by AC Milan missing out on European competitions, and after several days of reflection, decided it was time to conclude his historic career

Ac Milan causing guys to retire from how much they suck

 

“Gerry Cardinale has imposed his choice over Zlatan Ibrahimović’s and has definitively ended the pursuit of Arne Slot.

“Oliver Glasner now the frontrunner to become AC Milan’s new head coach. The deal is expected to be finalised shortly.”

 

Sad to think we may have gotten one more season of Luka if Milan had just done even an average job to close out the season. It really is unacceptable that they missed CL again. The last 3 months of the season were unwatchable, you could sense the dysfunction come across the screen. Even then, I still cannot quite fathom how they choked that hard. And what perplexes me about milan over the past few seasons is how bad they suck at home. The legendary San Siro seems to make them more afraid than the away side.
As mentioned before, Pulisic deserves blame. But him disappearing for the last 4 months of the season should not have been a death blow, other players did not step up and recruitment has been piss poor. And, the game has passed Allegri by.

 

Milan's last game reminded me of the USMNT's last WC qualifying game for 2018 against a very weak opponent, T&T.

All the US needed was a tie and 1 point to advance to the WC 2018, yet they failed horribly, just like Milan did to quality for the UCL.

 

Arne vs. Glasner is a win-win, or lose-lose, but as long as Ibra has a say it's lose-lose-lose-lose-lose

Didn't see the game, but seems like he was very lively and the focus of the attack.

 

I really dislike zlatan.

 

Many people feel the same!!

 

It's a large club, welcome!

 

Big nosed douche

 

Incredible player; incredibly disappointing human

 

Yes, kind of odd how much they are relying on him. What exactly are his qualifications for his current role?

 

Cardinale hated Maldini but loves ibrahimovic.
Maldini must be an even bigger self righteous douche. The ultras really despised him lol

 

So Glasner has given complete priority to Milan and has turned down other jobs including Feyenoord. Cardinale wants Glasner but wants a sporting director first

 

Milan is below Zlatan. Zlatan should never have gone to Milan. Zlatan should only have gone to Zlatan FC, the one hundred times champions of Serie Zlatan.

 

Glanser has coached

BL1 side Wolfsburg to

EL qualification in season 1;
the EL elimination round & CL qualification in Season 2​

BL1 side Eintracht Frankfurt to

the EL title and CL qualification in season 1;
the CL last 16 and the Pokal final in season 2​

EPL side Palace to

a Top 10 finish (after taking over in the relegation zone in February) in season 1;
the FA Cup title in season 2;
the Super Cup and the Conference League title in season 3
​

Feyenoord thinking hey have anything to offer a guy with that record is delusional. Who do they think they are, Ajax?

 

You don’t ask you don’t get

 

Small update, apparently Zlatan has been cut out of decision making. Gerry Cardinale is relying on Massimo Calvelli whose the acting CEO (but doesn't want job full time) who pushed for Rangnick and Glasner combo.

 

Avocado farming it is, then.

 

He needs to be cut from the payroll.

 

Relying on a part time CEO who doesn't want to commit fulltime isn't a great alternative.
