Our new headcoach

[ACMILAN1983]

this is probably why I'm a little worried. Seedorf is so inexperienced it's an unusual appointment, given this there could be two reason Silvio gave him the job.

1) he's got excellent ideas about coaching and playing football and silvio knew this from his time here and keeping in touch with him. this would be great, seedorf will be ambitious, his multi-lingual abilities will be useful in a team with players of different nationalities and I do think he'll identify better transfer targets.

2) he's so inexperienced he hasn't got much authority, silvio will be able to boss him as a puppet because he has no real right to be managing such a big club. He won't get any players he actually wants, just rather who is available (for free) and he's little more than a motivator.

I think this time Seedorf will have Berlusconi's backing. The two have always had a very tight relationship and I think they share a similar outlook on how they want Milan to play.

I don't think 2 is at all likely, I'd go as far as saying 'No, this is not why we got Seedorf'.

That's because Seedorf is the last person anyone would get to be their puppet or pushover. The guy's very strong minded and has a history of controversy in dressing rooms, especially with the Dutch National team because of his strong personality and for being very opinionated.

I think Berlu chose Seedorf because he genuinely believes in him, not just because of his personality and charisma, but also because he believes in his ideas on football. I also think Seedorf will get more support than either Leonardo or Allegri ever got, because while they were Galliani's picks, this time it's Berlu's choice (and we know how much he likes to capture the limelight of being a hero).

Btw, sorry to be a little off topic, but I read a short interview with Maldini on Milannews, where he says he's not coming into Milan and he's not spoken because there's nothing to say. I believe he also said "now is not the right time to return", which is interesting and might mean that he will return in the future. The translation was really poor though, so I may be mistaken here.
