Almost a lineup: Antonio Conte, Thiago Motta, De Zerbi, Lopetegui, Fonseca, Galtier, Gallardo, Conceiçao and Rose. There are nine candidates to coach Milan, all listed between yesterday, today and tomorrow. The tenth is Van Bommel. In goal, to prevent the unstoppable from now on, there would be the one who no longer runs for the bench: Stefano Pioli.
Before the usual social media story begins about journalists inventing transfer news, a clarification is better, which should be obvious but isn’t, considering what we read and listen to on the web. Journalists don’t invent anything. They report confidences from managers and attorneys and general insiders. Therefore, these ten applications are actually taken into consideration by Milan. And that’s not good. For a simple reason: only Ibra must choose the coach. And not through cinematic casting or some AI suggestion.
Ibrahimovic would like Marc Van Bommel, the Dutchman who was his teammate at the Rossoneri in 2011. But his career as a player doesn’t count, in fact it can confuse things. MVB, the same initials as Van Basten, to stay on the theme of AC Milan nostalgia, has a recent but already non-trivial career on the bench. But credentials don’t count, what counts is the principle. Ibra must choose Milan’s next coach. Otherwise, everything will fail.
