It is a big mistake to think that Marco van Basten can help Milan. Let me tell you what happened last year at Ajax:
- Over 30 million invested in new players (this is a insane amount of money for the Dutch league)
- Van Basten had a squad that was superiour compared to the other Dutch teams (Huntelaar, Suarez, Vermaelen)
- The team played very inconsistent and did not show any improvement
- In april Van Basten admitted that he had lost control over the squad and that he wanted to resign. He also said that he didn't think that he could make things better in the future. This was actually very special because not many coaches admit they are incapable, but Van Basten was very honest about it and should be respected for this.
- After Van Basten left and a new coach was appointed rumours appeared over the very bad physical condition of all players of the Ajax squad.
So stop dreaming: Van Basten is not capable at the moment to be head coach at Milan and he is fully aware of that himself. Van Basten was one of the world's best football players ever but he is no Guardiola, Rijkaard or Ancelotti.
I disagree.
You probably forgot what he's done in the European Championship.
He won against Italy and France. That was a great accomplishment.
Yes Holland could've become the New European Champion if it wasn't for the loss against Russia. Did they lose because of Van Basten or because of the problems with Boulahrouz ? We will never know. Maybe both were the reason for losing.
Wth Ajax it didn't go that well, you're right. But Rijkaard wasnt great at Sparta aswell.
They relegated because of Rijkaard but after Sparta he won the champions league with Barcelona.
Rijkaard needs good players.. i think that it is the same with Van Basten.
Both need topclubs to coach.
Conclusion is that it can't get much worse then now.
Maybe Van Basten can do anything good ?? i don't know.
I know that he was great with Holland.
Holland had a better team then ajax.
I even hoped that MVB stayed with Holland for the World Cup.
I guess that Rijkaard would be a better option for Ac Milan but he's with Galatasaray now
