AC Milan’s Primavera successes can be attributed to several things, but one of the most prominent reasons has to be the coaching of Ignazio Abate. After he has left the club, clubs are interested in him to be their manager.
It is not the first time it has been said, and it will not be the last, but the current crop of talent available within Milan’s youth ranks is exceptional. From Kevin Zeroli to Francesco Camarda, there is talent all over the pitch, and several of them will play a part in the Rossoneri’s future.
Credit must go to Ignazio Abate, though. The former defender has nurtured this squad and has been massively influential in their growth, not only as individuals but also as a team, meaning that when players like Zeroli have been given first-team opportunities, the system does not collapse.
Therefore, after the news that he is going to leave Milan, several clubs have taken interest in his availability.
As reported by Nicolo Schira (via Radio Rossonera) new adventures await for Abate, and Serie B side Pisa are heavily interested in the prospect of the Italian defender being their next head coach after the departure of fellow former Rossonero Alberto Aquilani.
I was hoping he would have been U-23 Coach. That’s a shame.
The new mgmt wants everyone to be a YES man. If you are not, you will be out the door.
Our best players too … Tonali, Theo, etc.. not immune
Yet while Milan sell their best, they buy the cheapest replacements.
Milan looked for the weakest coaching options. Lopetegui. Fonseca. Yes men.
It’s why Maldini was dumped and MONEYBALL MONCADA has been selling our best players and replacing them with cheapo “champions” like Reijnders, Musah, etc…
It’s all about $$$ with Cardinale. Not tradition. Not history. Not winning. Money.
I feel bad for Abate. He deserved better. But people need to know management is making decisions PURELY on $$$ not on ability or skill. It’s all about returns on moneyball.
With you 💯 on this topic. The writing was on the wall when the Yank and his delusional ownership model got shot of Maldini and Masara.
As one player said “when Maldini calls you listen”.
Mr Cardinale is NOT a football man. He’s an opportunist.
