He has absolutely no clue
Zlatan #Ibrahimovic will be the frontman of #ACMilan 26/27: #Milan’s advisor will choose the new sporting director and the new coach. #transfers
If you buy shit players, you're not going to make the Champions League.
Shouldn't be losing at home to the..... *checks notes*....14th best team in the league but then they were fortunate to be in a position to make the Champions League at all. The team is not good
So that's been the problem all along? Mobile phones, individual rooms, and not having their weight checked is responsible for failing to qualify for three straight World Cups.
Definitely not a lack of good players.
🚨 Italy interim boss Silvio Baldini is set to introduce MAJOR reforms ahead of the June international break against Luxembourg and Greece. 👀🇮🇹
➜ NO more individual rooms.
➜ Cell phones BANNED.
➜ Strict breakfast schedules — punctuality required.
➜ Daily weigh-ins implemented.

Camarda is injured, but when he was fit wasn't starting enough games.
Gabbia is 26 and the fact he is being described as 'the future' is why Italy are struggling to begin with. Not good enough
🇮🇹 Bartesaghi, Gabbia and Camarda are among the players @Gazzetta_it believe are the future of the Italian national team.
🤔 Did they forget anyone?
Ruggeri? Is he dead and I just haven't noticed?
The number of Italians playing regular Champions League football is probably in single figures. Leaving one of them out when you can't qualify for a 48-team World Cup is madness
Deluded. We haven't won the U-21 Euros since 2004. Haven't made the final since 2013.
Three U-19 finals since 2008. Sounds great, right? England also have three, France have four, Portugal five, Spain seven (!!).
Italy are not producing enough top players
He's right but also.....Gattuso is a bad coach. He needs to go.
Changing coach won't solve everything - as we've seen with Spalletti. Ultimately you need good players and Italy don't have them. But there's absolutely no chance of getting back to the top tier with a poor coach

Gattuso è un allenatore mediocre, oggi ha sbagliato alcun cose, ma a mio avviso è l’ultimo dei colpevoli. Oggi non va sottovalutata la prova in 10 vs 11 per 90’ interi.
Oggi in molti vogliono la sua testa, forse legittimamente, ma non ci sono troppe alternative valide in giro.
La situazione è nera ahimè
Italy going through a terrible period. Just have to wait it out until some good players come through. There is not enough talent in the XI, let alone the squad, to avoid situations like a World Cup playoff against Bosnia
Gattuso's Italy are much better in 4-4-2. Need to get rid of this back three and put another wide player on
This is a pretty damning indictment on Chiesa
The FIGC explains that Federico Chiesa ‘has been deemed unavailable for the next two matches’ following an assessment of his physical condition.
Official statement: football-italia.net/official…
Ruggeri should be getting called up. One of the few Italian players who is actually playing regular Champions League football.
Otherwise it's about what you'd expect. I think Ricci is better than quite a lot of those midfielders and should also be in
Italy’s expected call-ups 🇮🇹
GK: Donnarumma, Vicario, Carnesecchi, Meret
DEF: Bastoni, Calafiori, Mancini, Gatti, Buongiorno, Scalvini, Coppola
WB: Dimarco, Spinazzola, Palestra, Politano, Cambiaso
CM: Tonali, Locatelli, Pisilli, Barella, Frattesi, Cristante
ST: Kean, Retegui, Scamacca, Esposito
Possible additions: Raspadori, Orsolini/Maldini/Bernardeschi
Thoughts? 👀 (via Sky)
The same Boniface who has now had to undergo yet another surgery on his right knee (I've lost count how many he's up to) after struggling with it up until December.
Think I'll trust the Milan medical staff on this one, thank you
He's been a disaster with injuries. Good player but would be a very poor decision given his fitness record
🚨 Following Man City’s game in the Champions League there will be a meeting the club will hold meetings to understand the intentions of Guardiola.
Milan have been monitoring Nathan Ake since early January and are trying to see if the deal is accessible. Ake is ready to make a financial sacrifice to move to a project that allows him consistent playing time
[@MatteMoretto]
What a win this is going to be. Terrible performance with the ball/offensively, but leaving with three points is huge
