The coach left the French champions a day after the club won its fourth consecutive league title.
Paul Le Guen has announced that he will not renew his current contract with the club which expires on the 30th of June 2005.

Lyon are expected to replace the departing Le Guen with Raynald Denoueix, Lazlo Boloni or Claude Puel.

Le Guen is said to be very close to signing a contract with PSG. almost 99% certainty in this news.

Now that we have been smart in the transfer market is no excuse for Ancelotti. We should judge players by their quality, not by what they costed. and Ancelotti can't complain about the players he got, simple as.

I don't think Ancelotti needs to make many excuses, he took Pirlo and used him in a different way to remould the midfield and cemented Kaladze as a left back winning the CL and the league. I think though, and this is slightly rich as we are milan and are loaded with class players, but he has worked above his level. Rijkaard, Mourinho and Capello all got to request certain players and got them brought in. I don't think we have the depth of those teams. I hope he gets it this summer, we have been smart with our frees and loans but you can't build a team on them and complain when they not only don't dominate europe and play with style. That's really what people are asking for here 3-0 beautiful wins over Madrid, Juve, Man U and Chelsea and ritual gubbings for all the small teams.

strange. i read the he wants to take a sabbatical year. it's also reported wenger wants him to get his assistent next year at arsenal.

Well, I started this thred so I should say something too...
On ac milan officiall page Galliani says he likes courent managment of the club. As far as I'm concerned Carlo did ok job here in san siro, but as I always say, his tactics dont get 100% out of squad. Its not problem that we play defensively, actually we are not playing that defencively as paople say, but ut seems like milan dont have some practiced combinations from free kicks, from counter attacks as we usually dont do it right. If we loose he will leave , probably. So how ill be next? Maybe baresi, donadoni ( livorno recived 12 goals in last 2 matches ), maybe MVB , berlusconi likes boban and he said that there is always place on milans bench waiting for him ( I saw it on tv). Anyway, carlo has a tough job, coz we want only first place and that is not possible always, but still he looks like he is not a top-class coach ( capello,lippi,mourinho,trappatoni,wenger - dont like them all, just saying they are great ones..). As far as im concerned carlo can leave with head up high, but probably he will stay for another season and then its time for baresi.

the probably has the best record for a milan coach ever... u guys sound like real madrid, we had an excellent season so far, infact better than the previous ones under him, when we won the CL we got 3rd in the league, when we won the scudetto we were knocked out in the QF of the CL, this time we could get both trophies so stop the BS please. i hope we extend his contract i love the guy and its the same idiots that dont mention him next to capello, lippi, wenger, mourinho because he acheived much more than what they have in 2 and a half seasons and besides arent they the same idiots who mention henry, ronaldo, etoo as the greatest strikers present but always seem to forget about sheva when hes 10 times as good as any of those???

The most relevant parts:

E non è mancata qualche critica dall’alto, allorchè al termine di Milan-Juve il presidente Berlusconi, in partenza per Mosca, ha parlato di “Milan stanco” e di “eccesso di prudenza di Carletto, che ha un passato da difensore” (in realtà Ancelotti ha un passato da centrocampista, con non pochi gol in carriera, n.d.r.).

There’s been some criticism from the top, Berlusconi has talked about a “tired Milan” and about “the excessive wariness of Carletto, who has a past as a defender” (in reality Ancelotti used to be a midfielder with quite a few goals in his career).

Ecco perchè la prima necessaria mossa di Galliani è quella di chiudere in una botte di ferro il tecnico di Reggiolo, che a detta del plenipotenziario rossonero e presidente di Lega allenerà a Milanello anche nella prossima stagione, indipendentemente dall’esito della finalissima contro il Liverpool.

Subsequently Galliani has made the necessary statements, saying that: “Carlo will be at Milanello also next season, independently of the outcome of the big final".

“Andiamo avanti compatti, sereni e uniti – ha detto Galliani – ben consapevoli di essere stati protagonisti di un’altra straordinaria stagione, al di là di quello che sarà l’esito finale. Non avrei barattato i 3 punti di domenica con la finale di Champions, che resta sempre il nostro primo obiettivo. In Europa nessuno ha fatto meglio di noi, come testimonia il ranking Uefa che ci vede primi. Per questo dico che Ancelotti è il presente e anche il futuro del Milan”.

“We are serene and combined as we go forward” – says Galliani – well aware of having been protagonists in yet another extraordinary season. “I wouldn’t swap those 3 points on Sunday with the CL final, which always remains our first priority. In Europe no team has done better than us, as testified by Uefa’s rankings where we are in front. Because of that I say that Ancelotti is the present and also the future of Milan”.

I do not want him to leave at all and he won't anyhow but this is a good place to say this maybe...He should realize that he needs more rotation, playing guys like Simic in (a few) coppa matches is not good enough, btw Simic is just an example so if he is not good enough is not the point.
Players can't play this much and we'll suffer more if the current squad remains together and gets one year older.

At this point Carlo serves at the pleasure of the Club and it's executives. It's still a business and he can leave whenever he chooses. Likewise the club has every right to dismiss him at any time.

YES! only mourinho has a better recent record than him and it's possible he won't after the CL final. I just don't get this thread, Carlo has improved results every year, why the hell does anyone want him out? If he left us and went to Roma I guarantee Roma would be back in the title race and he would get the rep as one of the worlds best coaches and we'd be wondering what we did.

Ancelotti made a vague comment that one of these days he might like to coach Roma, but not now. Berlusconi again joked about firing him if he played with only one striker again. That doesn't mean Ancelotti will be fired.

Yes, he prefers a certain style and he trusts some players more than others. Yes, he makes mistakes, like everybody else, from management (remember Rivaldo's arrival?) to the players. Unlike a lot of managers, he actually seems to learn from his mistakes.

Win or lose the CL or the scudetto, I want Ancelotti as Milan's coach.

Ancelotti is a good manager, but not a great one. He doesn't seem to be a great tactician, nor does he seem to be a great motivator (Deportivo, PSV etc.). Unless we have a truly great manager lined up to replace him, I'd rather keep him than experiment with other former players from our "golden era." I must admit that if I had to replace him today, I'd hire Del Neri. That guys gets something out of nothing.

But we need someone who gets more than something out of already a-lot-of things.

Agreed, but if someone can get something out of nothing, then it logically follows that they could get the most out of something. If we beat Liverpool, then Ancelotti isn't going anywhere. If we lose to Liverpool, I still lean toward saying that he isn't going anywhere, but who knows.

You don't find a better tactician than Carletto these days, imo.

NO. no one wants him to go really. He is world-class.
