4 coaches that could replace Gennaro Gattuso at AC Milan

#2 Eusebio Di Francesco

ACF Fiorentina v AS Roma - Serie A

Di Francesco actually came into coaching after a team manager and director of football spell. Later he joined Pescara, Lecce, Sassuolo and Roma, who fired him after a bad run in March 2019. The Italian, whose biggest achievement might be the comeback against Barcelona in the UCL, is unemployed right now. However, he seems ready again to join another top club.

An offensive interpretation of the 4-3-3, which main weapon is the counter attack, is the formation of choice for the 49 years old. He also uses two defensive midfielders, whose main task is to protect the backline; therefore, the team’s offense relies on the creativity of the remaining players. At Sassuolo, one of Eusebio's biggest strengths was his player development, which saw him improving players like Vrsaljko, Defrel, Pellegrini, Politano and Acerbi.

The unemployed Di Francesco would not cost anything and would be very easy to get. He also already got the perfect players for his kind of football and would not need to change the playing style itself. Rather, he would be focused on trying to improve it.
