5 coaches that AC Milan should be looking at

#2 Roberto Mancini

Mancini will bring stability and a guarantee of progress if appointed

Suave, debonair and a handsome devil to boot, Mancini may not be a very popular choice (he coached Inter Milan after all) but he has the pedigree to help propel AC Milan back into contention for the big prizes in European football.

Currently, manager of Russian powerhouse Zenit St-Petersburg, Mancini still harbours hopes of returning to the spotlight in a major European league and with a legitimate powerhouse club (or a club that can spend like one) as he did with Inter and Manchester City.

The manager who was a swashbuckling, technical goalscorer during his playing career has been accused of being a defensively minded manager who sets teams up to win with the odd goal and keep a clean sheet rather than going all out to score and entertain.

He will certainly bring defensive organization and cohesion as a competitive edge to a team that has looked all at sea this season especially in the big games against the big boys in Serie A (played 6 and lost all 6 against Serie A’s current top six).

A lot will depend on whether he feels he is ready to make the move from the Russia team whom he joined less than 6 months ago and has been recruiting a lot of talented players especially Argentineans (Sebastián Driussi, Matias Kranevitter, Leonardo Paredes and Emmanuele Mammana).
