Scolari is brasilian, and, in my oppinion, and extraordinary coach. Something went wrong in Chelsea, or he had some kind of problems inside the club, who knows. But you dont fire such coach in half of the season. Now Hiddink is taking over in Chelsea, an expected move by Abramovic.

Scolari would do well in Milan. Berlusconi asks for the football Scolari is playing, and Scolari will have 4-5 brasilians in Milan in any case.

I would say "yes" to him, but Milan will most likely go for italian coach or a former milan player: Rijkaard, Van Basten. Aldough Scolari is 3 times a coach they are.

besides the top 4-5..i would choose benitez..
i read an interview(it was one of the 2 liverpools owner) and he said that benitez was negotiating with 3 teams last year,so i think he is more available than the others..

of course NOT rajkard!!!imo he is excactly the same type with ancelloti with even less tactical knowledge..DISASTER

not scolari,please no, this year's chelsea is by far the worst of the last 4-5 years,even under ranieri and graant they were better..and i think its 99% his fault..i dont even think he did a good job with brasil,dont get me wrong i think wc2002 was a tottal fiasco..i liked him although with portugal..

not van basten
not donadoni..not yet maybe..

IF RB is available, then RB should be the one Berlu should sign as he is great in in-game subs and good in developing players also.

I quote you but it's not specific to you, it's just that I wanted to use the same kind of sentence than you:

How about stopping all these posts about what coach can replace Ancelotti (quite boring, we can only see one thing on the forum in different topics and it's "fire/sack Ancelotti") ?

There is no way Ancelotti will go in the next few weeks (we're not Chelsea, we don't fire our coach when we're in Top 4, and that would be very stupid to fire Ancelotti when we're third whereas we kept him when we finished fifth, let's be logical), and I don't think we'll change the coach next season ...

We don't need another coach, we need a power center.

Our whole summer mercato will be about keeping Kaka happy enough to stay.

Sheva, Emerson, Favalli, Dida and Maldini will leave for sure.

What else is almost certain of happening? Lets stop talking about Carlo, and focus on the squad.


I think we can all agree that we should buy a CF and LB.

Who?

Adebayor and zhirkov. if mattioni exhibit his quality potential,I can accept we move kalazhe to left and nursing marco rossi or albertazzi.

is marco rossi's move already official? any info on this lad?

Not yet I think, and I don't know anything about him except he stand 1.88 m,quite attactive for a LB.I mentioned his name because there are not many names match milan quality occured to me on the market.

Inter got a young LB coming out of nowhere recently.rossi maybe next grosso ,who knows?

Who?

and a central defender! as Senderos will go back to arsenal, Nesta is very injury prone, Maldini and Favalli will most likely quit the game, and Kaladze is sh*t. Who? Santacroce, or else Agger

CF: Giuseppe Rossi
LB: De Silvestri?

With what, another contract reworking?

And if there's one thing we've learned over the years, it's never a sure thing as to who's leaving this club and who isn't.

The summer market won't make a difference with current manager, coz he hasn't the guts to stand up for the signings he wants. We'll end up with 2nd or 3rd choice options in August because we are cheap, and Galliani will have excuses book going into overdrive as there no tournaments to use as an excuse. Other than Silva, we'll sign players like Corradi, someone over 30, someone else over 30, a youth product who's good but won't play, and some foreigners that nobody else wants, and maybe a Mardid reject.

Scolari is a very good coach, but at European club level he's an unknown quantity for me. I'm not sure what went wrong when he was at Chelsea, and certainly he can do better, but at this point I think he'd be a big risk.

I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning. Rafa Benitez is a highly underrated coach by many people and is tactically brilliant. Let's not forget he's familiar with the Milan environment having studied under Sacchi who was his greatest influence. His high pressing game and well organised sides would be interesting at Milan. Plus he's not in charge of transfers at Milan (not his strongest area), so he'll be utilized to his strengths. With his contract negotiations and such it would be a reasonable idea to try and snare him away from Liverpool.
