Pedulla slams Milan management for ‘total disarray’ after Champions League exit | OneFootball

Any exit from the Champions League will come with a level of damage, and AC Milan have experienced this in the worst way.

There are so many levels of frustration today. Unfortunately, it is being directed everywhere. Milan are not a team out of the Champions League because of the head coach, or the two incidents in each game.

It is not a fault that solely lies with the management either. Instead, it is a collaborative collapse, and this has led to a bit of an outbreak.

For this reason, there is no shared narrative, but rather a host of different opinions all dissecting different individuals within the club – a very damaging thing for anyone, let alone a Rossoneri side who have been against it for large parts of this season.

The latest onslaught comes from Alfredo Pedulla, and when speaking to Sportitalia this afternoon, the journalist spoke about the management’s part in the mess – his words have been relayed by Milan News.

“I’ll tell you three dates that make you understand the break-up of Milan: 31 August, the mutiny and Furlani talking about a non-event. Do we remember what happened on 9 October in Florence? The penalty, I shoot, you shoot, no he shoots, Tomori intervenes, he has to shoot, no he has to shoot, Theo takes the ball and they suspend Tomori with the Milan club not intervening? On 29 December the most embarrassing thing happened, the embarrassment continued unabated.

“That is, on the eve of Milan v Roma, the news that Fonseca would be relieved in any case and that Conceiçao would arrive. And do you remember the post-match dance? Fonseca arrives, ‘No I’m not talking, tomorrow I’m at Milanello, but what are you saying, training is scheduled, but ask the club, I am the Milan coach, I’m going to catch the plane to Arabia.

“2 hours later ‘No it’s true they relieved me, now comes the communication.

“Do you think it’s just the match? The match is the last wheel. If the market were to reopen tomorrow, Milan would go for Gimenez, they would go for another Joao Felix, but the directors’ market would have to open.

“When the directors’ market opens, we make the choice: ’Moncada, he’s not for you. Ibra do another story because you think you’re still the one with the backhand goal’. When the directors’ market opens up again and we can make choices about directors there will be Milan, otherwise we’ll be surprised at nothing.

“The photo that is published like that, is the synthesis of a total debacle that has no control by an absentee ownership, which has repercussions on the pitch. And it has nothing to do with the coach and his bad choices.”
