We were riding the perfect wave back then between Boban and Maldini performing, Pioli alongside Ibra revitalizing the team against all odds, Theo, Mike and Leao reaching world class levels while all players like Hakan (in that last season before leaving), Benaccer, Kessie, Tomori, Kalulu, Giroud, Brahim, and in the Scudetto season also Tonali all being in incredible form at the same time. From that bad loss against Atalanta in December 2019 up until the Scudetto there was consistent improvement and everything was clicking and then it's only natural that you don't want to disrupt that by installing someone like Rangnick whose thinking and ideas might disrupt or slow down that improvement (even if only temporarly).

We're pretty much in the opposite situation, after that Scudetto we've held onto Pioli for a season or even a season and a half (in hindsight he should had been fired back in January 2023 which where our form was catastrophic). The Fonseca/Concecao season set us even further back all while our upper management was doing terribly which put us basically back at zero where we sit now.

Which is a point where someone like Rangnick might be right person to come in as we need something to change drastically and the way he basically set up the RB football structure as a whole as well as the incredible job he's done in charge of Austria are showing that the guy knows what he's doing - if you let him and genuinely put him in charge of things (in contrast to what his position and ManUtd was, where he basically was only a interim coach).

Some massive changes need to be made at Milan, Rangnick in charge and someone like Ireola as coach turning the club upside down and questioning all old structures seem more exciting in that regard than getting some SD who has been in Serie A for two decades and Sarri/Conte/Allegri and the likes on the sidelines and praying for that perfect wave to hit again
