AC Milan Prepares To Sack Seedorf, Inzaghi Tipped To Replace Him.


 


Italian Serie A giants AC Milan, are set to fire coach Clarence Seedorf and
replace him with youth team coach Filippo Inzaghi, Italian media revealed
on Tuesday.
Seedorf is only four months into a two-and-a- half year contract and has
overseen a considerable improvement in results, but rumours about the
Dutchman’s future have been rife for several weeks.
Club president Silvio Berlusconi held a meeting with chief executive
Adriano Galliani to discuss the move at the former’s villa in Arcore, 20
kilometres outside Milan, late on Monday night, media reported.
Italy’s three sports papers, Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport and
Tuttosport, all carried similar reports, which were unsourced.
Seedorf, 38, who spent 10 years of his playing career at Milan, took over
at the end of January to replace Massimiliano Allegri, who was fired after
two-and-a-half years in charge.
Former Italian prime minister Berlusconi had been chasing Seedorf for
several months before
finally appointing him, yet it is rumoured that the Dutchman quickly fell
out of favour.
Although Seedorf had no previous coaching experience, results improved
markedly under him with 11 wins in 19 league games, compared to five in
the previous 19 under Allegri.
Milan climbed up the table to finish eighth, missing out on Europa League
qualification by one point.
However, they also suffered an embarrassing exit from the Champions
League after losing 5-1
on aggregate to eventual finalists Atletico Madrid in the round of 16.
Similar to Seedorf, Inzaghi has no previous experience of coaching a
senior professional team.
The 40-year-old spent 11 seasons playing for Milan, where he won two
Serie A titles and two Champions League titles, and also won 57 caps for
Italy.
He has been in charge of Milan’s under-19 team for the past two seasons.

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday attended the funeral mass in honour of the late former Governor of Lagos, Michael Otedola and former President, Olusegun Obasanjo was there as well. When it was time for Jonathan to leave the venue, Chief Obasanjo escorted him out and the duo obviously engaged in an intense discussion as can be seen from the president’s expression. Reports have it that Obasanjo took the chance to advice the president on a matter of national security. The former president recently met with people believed to be close to the terrorist sect, Boko Haram in an attempt to secure the release of the over 200 girls who have been in captivity for 46 days. Obasanjo has however said that he cannot act without the approval of President Jonathan. See photo below:
