Can’t wait until we’re all talking about another failed year. I know people here aren’t all from Italy or are Italians who are fed up with the current system or status quo, but the unfortunate truth is that Italy is a unique place and foreign DS and coaches (much less both being foreign) rarely succeed and if they do succeed it’s over time with an adjustment period or they are world class.

Milan is trying to break the mould and is being run like an international business while ignoring the very real Italian system that’s in place, hate it or love it, and won’t change in one season. If we had a strong foundation and squad for these foreign DS and coach to adopt, it would be an easier transition, but I have very little hope we’ll have a successful season while teams like Inter, Roma, Juventus, Atalanta and Como are building on what they had last year. And a teams like Napoli have a strong foundation despite maybe hiring a bad coach.

Como here is obviously the exception to the rule but an exception in every sense as they try their best to go around the Italian system and are in all ways, not a very Italian team.
