We will take a serious risk with him . In such a case we should have a plan B .

What signing would mean less risk?

Let's be honest, Xavi ticks all the boxes and he gets a "healthier" team/environment with us. In my eyes, we even have a better team than Barcelona at the moment.

Mazzara on Milannews writes the new coach won't be italian. Gazzetta writes today Cardinale will meet Sala

It would be a very good fit for our project. We must not be blinded by the fact that he loses a Classico at the Bernabeu.

He develops young players and trusts them. He leads a very mediocre Barcelona to the quarter-finals and is only unlucky to be eliminated.

He also has an "appeal"/attraction for many players. With Reijnders, he would have a favourite player in the squad.

I think Milan + Xavi could be a great love story.

And if you draw a comparison with his predecessors, you must never forget one thing: He had no Messi.
Wait. This is like saying Pioli is great at uncovering prospects when he has no other options but to choose them because of injuries or suspension. Please. We are looking for WINNERS not whiners.

The latest are Leao CF, Pulisic LW, Musah RW and Loftus AM. Adli and Reijnders in midfield

Basically, I see your last sentence as pure polemics. But tell me, who do you think is the right coach/winner for us?

Musah on the right to keep Dimarco in check. Leao as a CF .. little bit lost there, but with his speed he could hurt Acerbi. Actually the ones to keep in check at Inter are Hakan and Barella. So our midfiel needs to step up. Loftus Cheek should stick on Hakan like glue if you ask me.

Conte also Klopp , but the last one is out of reach . Tuchel probably too . He does not have any experience out of Barcelona . Jumping from there to Milan could be quite of a challenge in all aspects . We are also still in a period where we should not miss CL . Also I am not sure how healthy is our environment presently . I like the idea of him , and I hope he is the wright coach , but I am glad that I am not the one who should take such a decision .

It MIGHT be a good idea and finally go for a foreign coach. Always preferred an Italian but times have changed.

Xavi, conceicao, gallardo, galtier, Rose are all interesting options. NOT graham Potter - I have a strong feeling we will be heavily linked with him soon

Conte is a complete sociopath. The guy is a bigger risk than Abate.

I mean, as Diddi said, the rational for some tactical changes might be there, but it does not look good on the coach when he's still experimenting with the line-up in late April.

We have Okafor right there. Why try Leao as CF suddenly? Chuck is finally starting to pull his weight. Why suddenly deploying Musah in his position?

To me, just like in the last game with Calabria suddenly starting in midfield, Pioli is trying to be clever and outsmart his opponents - leading to him overthinking the shit out of the 4D-chess that might be happening right now in his head.

But at this point, why bother? It's over for him anyway.

Sassuolo is going to close this financial year at -7 million
Genoa at -30 million
Monza at -60 million

Milan will close the financial year on profit for the second year in a row, i hope this will allow us to spend a little more this summer

Maybe he is a " sociopath " but he is proven also here , he knows Serie A pretty well , and his teams are fighting to the last moment , something we are actually missing . Tactically also he is quite good . Do not get me wrong , I like Xavi to be our coach , but it is a serious risk and I do not know if we can afford it .

@Pigeon remember the statement about the Ajax model we looking to adopt, well Ibra, wants to adopt. Ronald koeman is perfect fit. Experience from different leagues, good at developing youngsters. Remember Balde, Fati, Moriba played under him or were introduced during his time.

Ibra has asked for Conte AND MALDINI.

Ibra has the power to make the decisions in Milan. TEchnical ones. We'll see now.
Furlani and other Beta parts of ACM wanted a yes man for the coach. Ibra has a deal with Conte.
Its Cardinale's turn. Finances also need to be rewiewed of course.

Yes great love story indeed. He could start for us even now
