AC Milan: Gianluca Di Marzio questions the choice of a foreign coach
By OnzeActu · · 2 min read
Gianluca Di Marzio speaks on the "Caffè Di Marzio" podcast regarding the current strategy of Milan, which plans to entrust its future technical direction to a foreign coach, supported by Gerry Cardinale and advised by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The journalist questions this choice and recalls the recognized quality of Italian coaches in international football.
Since the departure of Massimiliano Allegri, AC Milan remains without a dedicated coach and continues its search for a new boss for the bench. In the "Caffè Di Marzio" podcast, Gianluca Di Marzio delivers his analysis of the strategy of the Lombard club, which seems to favor a foreign coach, under the leadership of the ownership embodied by Gerry Cardinale and advised by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The journalist questions the relevance of this stubbornness in ruling out Italian profiles, even though the peninsula stands out for the quality of its technicians. He recognizes that the use of foreign sports managers or directors can be justified, but he believes that Italy remains a reference for its coaches, as evidenced by the success of Farioli at FC Porto or the presence of De Zerbi and potentially Maresca in the Premier League.

For Di Marzio, this desire by Milan to move towards non-Italian profiles is all the more questionable since the latest successes of Italian football are to be put to the credit of its trainers. The names currently mentioned, such as Glasner and Slot, do not fit the “Fàbregas” style initially suggested by the club.
Di Marzio recalls, in conclusion, that the tradition of Italian coaches is the pride of Calcio internationally. Why then does Milan persist in turning away from it for the management of its first team?
