REVEALED: Three managers who could replace Miha at Milan
Following two successive and disappointing stalemates against relegation candidates Carpi and Verona, president Silvio Berlusconi has not hesitated to express his delusion and frustration for Sinisa Mihajlovic’s poor results, while the club’s CEO Adriano Galliani scared off the Serbian manager a few days ago revealing that none can consider his job at Milan safe.
With the former Sampdoria boss who is now facing the sack, who could replace him at Milan in case Berlusconi pulls the trigger?
Adriano Galliani’s n.1 target is former Juventus boss Antonio Conte, but the way to sign the current Italy head coach is everything but easy. The Italy FA would like to extend Conte’s contract until the World Cup 2108, although the 46-year-old boss eager to come back to a club team after EURO 2016. Roma, Juve (yes, again), Chelsea, PSG and many other foreign clubs are in hunt for the Italian manager and, more likely, to sign him, considering also the budget that those teams have at their disposal.
Former Italy head coach Cesare Prandelli could be a realistic option instead. The 58-year-old could be initially appointed as interim manager, but he could also kick of a new project at the club. Milan are thinking about him, although the club have still not held official talks with the former Fiorentina boss.
Milan’s Primavera head coach and former Rossoneri player Christian Brocchi is an option that seems far too similar to the appointment of Filippo Inzaghi less than two years ago, and everyone knows how it ended up between Superpippo and the club.
Talking about Inzaghi, both him and Clarence Seedorf are still on the club’s payroll until June 2016, that’s why Adriano Galliani and Silvio Berlusconi hope that the Mihajlovic will beat Sampdoria (in Coppa Italia) and Frosinone (in Serie A) in the next two away games.
By the way, in case Miha will fail to live up to the club’s expectations for the next two games too, he could be sacked before Christmas with Milan that would find themselves in the uncomfortable position of having four managers under contract at the same time.
