I agree and I guess he's staying.BMWTaylor said:I don't understand why people keep calling for Carlo's head on a stick. Until he really screws up Milan in some huge way, I'll continue to be one of his defenders. I salute the Milan brass for not sacking him after last season. Had we lost the CL final anyway but not in such devastating fashion, I wonder if opinions would be different. Plus, a team can't win everydamnthing every single season, especially since the level of competition seems to be higher than ever.
To blame Carletto for the CL final result is just plain wrong. Losses are not always the fault of the coach. He diagrams the plays and it's up to the players to carry them out on the pitch, but he shouldn't have to babysit them every second, as they are professionals. Sadly, coaching is the most thankless occupation in sports. Heck, Rafael Benitez would likely be facing the chopping block right now if defending champs Liverpool, weak in the EPL, weren't doing so well right now in Europe.
ANCELOTTI: ‘With Milan for a long period’
11/7/2005
COVERCIANO - Carlo Ancelotti expressed his satisfaction with the Golden Bench award for his 2002/03 and 2003/04 seasons: ‘I want to thank all my colleagues that selected me because I have envied those that received this award before myself. It makes you happy to receive this recognition, I cannot be anything but pleased. It's an award I have been looking to for some time.’ The Rossonero coach celebrated a special anniversary just yesterday and he commented with pride on the seasons he has been in charge: ‘These past four years have passed quickly, they went well. I hope to have many more. I don’t know how much of the English model we can adopt for our football, but I hope that it can be emulated and that I am able to stay on for a long period.’
