The management has gathered to decide the fate of coach Gennaro Gattuso after today’s embarrassing draw against Frosinone.
On the Italian version of boxing-day, AC Milan are unable to go beyond a goalless draw at Benito Stirpe against Frosinone who are currently in relegation zone. Another ugly stop for the Rossoneri who lose further ground in the Champions League race. Lazio win and consolidate the forth spot while Sampdoria’s victory drops Milan to sixth place in the standings.
Gennaro Gattuso is in real danger being sacked due to a very negative December. Rino could pay for the inexplicable crisis of results that has plagued the San Siro side. The management so far has backed Rino with hope that the situation would change quickly but things are only getting worse.
Despite the absences of some injured players, Suso being just the latest, AC Milan is no longer able to win. Not only have the Rossoneri failed to win in the last four consecutive Serie A games but have’t scored a single goal also.
The colleagues of Sportmediaset write about a decisive meeting in the coming hours between Paolo Maldini, Ivan Gazidis and Leonardo to decide the fate of Gattuso, whether to relieve him from his duties or not. As previously reported by www.acmilaninfo.com Gattuso will likely remain coach even for Saturday night’s challenge at San Siro against Spal. The club will not sack Rino before Spal but would rather prefer to make a full analysis of the situation and make a final decision in the first weeks of January. The first match of the new year is going to be on 21 January, that leaves the management plenty of time for a proper choice.
Even though Gattuso sacking is too easy now it’s probably not at all useful for the already complicated balance of the team. Despite the tense situation the group backs the coach. Milan have problems and they must be solved quickly but finding alibis, as always reiterated by Gattuso, is of little use.
