ComingComing out of the World Cup qualifying break on October 15th, AC Milan face their most important league match in nearly five years. Sitting seventh in Serie A, the Rossoneri will look to avoid a third straight league defeat when they take Inter Milan in the Derby of Madoninna. Rumors have swirled around Vincenzo Montella's job security after new owner Yonghong Li spent € 200 million on new players this past summer. It appears that only seven matches in Milan's hopes of a Champions League birthday next year are already in doubt. After Bayern Munich shockedly sacked Carlo Ancelotti, rumor's around Montella grew louder and more frequent. However, it's unlikely, as an embarrassment in the derby, that he will be let go. Had Milan executives wanted to make a change, the day after the Roma loss would have been perfect, since the International break would have allowed a new manager to prepare his club. In addition, news has broken that Mr. Li is in deep financial trouble, needing to secure $ 320 million by next October to pay off a loan he used to buy the club. As he is desperately seeking a fresh injection of capital, it's unlikely he'll want to pay a new, seven-figure, manager in addition to paying off Montella's salary. Unless Milan becomes embarrassing to Mr. Li on the pitch, it's unlikely he'll want to shell out much more money.qualification break on October 15th, AC Milan face their most important league match in nearly five years.
