However, as I see it, he was appointed to be the caretaker to finish up last season, and while he did fine, from my view he did not do anything extraordinary. With the big changes in ownership and management this summer, I just don't see his role in this new project justified. He should return to the role he did before, and let someone with proven experience handle the most important aspect of this team. With expensive signings arriving this summer, it would also make sense for Elliott to not make a gamble on the coach role, and somebody like Conte would bring certain guarantees. We had too many problems with unexperienced coaches in Milan lately.
The players will be behind Conte if Elliott appoints him. It is their job to do so.
You do realize he took over a team half way through the season during a terribly rough time, both in the way the team was playing & management/finances were in shambles. He really didn't have the resources to do 'extraordinary things', but to me I think what he did do (having only been bettered by Napoli & Juve based on results) is phenomenal.
Not only that, but every high caliber player has spoken nothing but highly of Gattuso. Before Juventus gave Conte a chance he wasn't as highly regarded either. We don't need Conte right now, I hope we make Gattuso better than him.
