AC Milan are set to make former striker Filippo Inzaghi as the next manager of the club. This is likely because Clarence Seedorf is expected to be sacked from his role at the end of the season. Said offers appointed as the manager of Milan only a few months ago, but he has struggled to live up to their expectations. He failed to take Milan into the European qualification positions. Milan will be without both Champions League and Europa League next season. Seedorf has been at loggerheads with the club’s board over the last few weeks.

Former Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti, who recently won his third Champions League title as a manager, stated that he believes Inzaghi will be a good manager for Milan. Ancelotti knows Inzaghi and Seedorf extremely well after having managed both players during his time at the club. Both these former players do not have much managerial experience, but they know the club extremely well after having played for several years. If Seedorf is expected to leave the club in the next few weeks, Inzaghi will be a good appointment.

Ancelotti has also stated that he is interested in becoming the manager of Italy at some point in the future because it is the dream of every manager from the country.

“Pippo has an extraordinary enthusiasm, a great desire, and has prior experience in the youth area. He certainly has all the features to [do well at Milan]… If he becomes coach, I wish him good luck. Coaching your country’s national side is always a goal. But [for the time being] I still want to be on the [training] field every day, I very much enjoy the daily relationship with the team. When I am no longer having fun … I’ll call the Italian Football Federation [FIGC]. When Prandelli’s contract expires [in 2016],” said Ancelotti.

Botafogo captain Jefferson has stated that current Milan manager Clarence Seedorf was a huge influence on his club during the short time he spent at the Brazilian outfit. Seedorf finished his playing days playing for the Brazilian club Botafogo. He had arrived in Brazil with a big reputation of having won numerous trophies with big clubs like Real Madrid and AC Milan. Botafogo, meanwhile, were struggling to assert their superiority in the domestic league. Following his arrival, Seedorf reportedly did several changes to the club and this started with minor aspects like the dressing room chair layout according to Jefferson.

Jefferson admitted that Seedorf tried to change things a little too quickly, but he said that Botafogo did improve a lot and became much more of a professional club after he arrived. The club have been struggling in the league since Seedorf left the club a few months ago. The Dutchman took over at AC Milan as the manager of the club. He had played for Milan for almost a decade during which time he won league titles and Champions League. As far as their relationship goes, Jefferson stated that it had always been very professional.

He has thanked Seedorf for the time spent at Botafogo.

He said: “Our relationship has always been very professional. Seedorf arrived here at Botafogo and revolutionised us with his attitude and professionalism. The motivation in him at times was very strong. He sometimes tried to change things too fast. I think in three or four months he tried to change things that would last maybe years. Seedorf certainly added a lot to the Botafogo, Botafogo has grown with his arrival.”

“Seedorf has changed our way of getting to the locker room, we could not have music, the chair had to be the way he thought it had to be, things like that he wanted to change,” said the captain.
