I'm not to sure about Lippi. To me, he seems like he's a bit burned out at the top level now, usually all managers have one last disasterous spell at a club before they sink out of view. I have bad feeling we'll be that disasterous spell if we go for Lippi.

The only thing that would be a real positive about him though is the clout he carries. I don't think carlo carries enough respect with the board, I think he'd have a tough time demanding new players. Lippi on the other hand would command a lot of respect from the off, and would likely get a substantial budget to sort the team out. (something any new manager would surely do, Carlo's team selections seem based quite a lot on his faith in certain aging indivuals)

So, give the man a job in Italy

New Rumours.

Theres alot of cool rumours on tribal football. Inter and Milan are locked on Higuain. Also Barusso and the one that got my attention was Palacio.

It also says Zebina refused to come on as a substitute for Juve in a Serie B game as he is frustrated with serie b, so maybe he would make a good RB for us?

please don't take this in a wrong way, as I am good-intentioned. but you have referred to three 'crap' in one single post (see above please). and one should be forbidden to say either one of them in our forum, let alone three. so I suggest that you be banned.

All but Inter it seems

Lippi was not boring in his first spell with Juventus, his three pronged attack was great. But that is quite some time ago.

My worry about Lippi is the worry about time, as the same with Trappatoni, I am worried he will be to stale in his ways after all these years. This don't have to be true at all though. He made many strange choices in the world cup and he doesn't seem to trust young players at all.

Maybe this is what worries me the most. He doesn't seem to trust young players. I want our next manager to be someone that really do trust them, not to Wengeristic levels where the team is stripped of experience at times, but at least give them some playing time and phase them into the team.

Corriere dello sport says our main targets are Trezeguet, Zambrotta, Amelia, and Iaquinta ( )

It's like the summer all over again

Lippi, Ronaldinho headline AC Milan overhaul
tribalfooball.com - November 09, 2006

AC Milan are ready for a team restructure at the end of this season.

Corriere dello Sport says this will be coach Carlo Ancelotti's final campaign in charge at the San Siro and he will be replaced by Italy's World Cup winning boss Marcello Lippi in June.

The team will also go under a revamp with Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho top of Milan president Silvio Berlusconi's shopping list.

But the spending spree won't end with the Brazilian. Barcelona teammate Gianluca Zambrotta is also wanted, along with Livorno goalkeeper Marco Amelia and strikers Vincenzo Iaquinta (Udinese) and David Trezeguet (Juventus).

My god!It sounds like a big transfer spendig if it comes true!If we sign this people Milan will be unstopable!

Benitez dreams of Italy Thursday 9 November, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coach Rafael Benitez would consider leaving Liverpool for a job in Italy, stated his agent on Thursday.

The Spanish tactician, who is considered one of the best Coaches on the market, is happy to stay at Anfield, although he would consider a Serie A switch in the right circumstances.

“Benitez is a Coach ideally suited to Italy and the country’s style of football and he is one of the best three Coaches in the world,” said agent Manuel Garcia Quilon to The Sun.

“If he receives an interesting offer from a club with a serious project, he will certainly consider it and in this case he could even leave Liverpool,” continued Quilon.

“Benitez is a highly prepared Coach, he works 24 hours a day and is able to train in a way few others in the world can – you just need to look at what he has won to see that.”

Benitez joined Liverpool from Valencia in 2004, having led the Spanish side to the title and UEFA Cup.

Since then he has won the Champions League, European Super Cup and FA Cup with the Reds, although he has come under fire for his rotation policy this term.
------------------------------------------------------------

He wants to come on Italy!But where will he go? Inter or Milan???I think we should let him!I prefer Lippi!

I think Benitez is committed to Liverpool for the next few years, so any possible move to Italy will be in the future and not anytime soon.

That said, he is a great coach, one of the best around. He shouldn't be dismissed.

The good thing is that he use youngesters, the bad thing is that he want quite some duds and also play them. Also, he stand for a defensive football that I don't really prefer.

Not only that kris, but he rotates a little too often for my tastes...I have a friend who is a Liverpool fan, and this is really his impression, that he has passed on to me as it were....

Think he is a good coach...and if u cant beat them, hire them!

"In the meantime, Juve chief Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has confirmed that the club will not be selling David Trezeguet in January.
The Frenchman did not play on Monday in the big match with Napoli and rumours have once again suggested that he may leave the Bianconeri.

But Cobolli Gigli was eager to specify that the player was only injured and there were no other motivations behind his absence. "

“Trezeguet has been linked with Milan? David is absolutely not for sale,” stated the President.

Anyway, why so much interest from Milan's side about Juve players ?
I've read Milan was/is connected to Buffon, Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Camoranesi, Emerson, Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic....
I've even seen here on MM how some members had more Juve than Milan players in their "Milan 2006/07 season" wish list !

Seems like something none of you wants to say directly, is said between the lines

meazza, not sure if I agree with u on this...Berlu, in my knowledge, has never given coaches "free reign" over transfer decisions etc....and as we all know, Berlu = Milan´s board....so, while I wouldnt mind Lippi, I think we could do better, either keeping Carlo, or going for Rijkaard and Cate.

Coz the press has no idea what Milan will do.
And, there is always a tendency for human being to believe that other people have a better life than us, considering ourselves as the victim rather than the fortunate.
