A new era will begin in Milan this June, and its trademark could be – Napoleon! If that happens, it is logical that the Rossoneri will win again, like the French military leader once did. That nickname was given to Marcelo Gallardo by fans and journalists during his tenure at River Plate, where he formed a recognizable style of play and competitive spirit of the team, with which he lifted 14 cups in various competitions. It seems that just such a profile is needed by the Italian club when it officially part ways with Stefano Pioli and that the club needs the energy emitted by the 48-year-old expert from Buenos Aires to move forward.‘De Zerbi is a third-tier coach’Although almost a month ago, his name was shyly mentioned in the context of potential candidates for Milan’s bench, in the meantime, his chances have increased, and he is now considered the best option. This is what famous journalist Gianluca di Marzio claims, assuring that Gallardo is about to leave Al Ittihad. On paper, he is linked to the Saudi club, however, neither in Jeddah are satisfied with how he managed when they brought him, nor does Gallardo keep the situation under control, as evidenced by the conflict with the team’s first star, Karim Benzema. Add to that a large number of defeats and it will become clear that everyone wants to leave, although according to unofficial information, Marcelo earns 22,000,000 euros per season in the Arab world and that’s exactly how much he still has until the end of his contract. But sometimes, it’s not all about money. It is difficult to cooperate with the Arabs anyway. Especially for a temperamental strategist like the Argentine.Milan legends have their own candidate for a new coachAnother important detail is the attempt to confirm the quality in European football. Before Al Ittihad, Marcelo Gallardo worked only in the territory of South America, with the Uruguayan Nacional he was the national champion, after which he got a job in Rivera and raised it to the level of the winner of the Copa Libertadores (twice), in order to finally win the title in his native country in 2021 Argentina, after a series of cups. He is highly regarded in the local circles and he could show that if he comes to San Siro. Provided that he first finds a model for parting with the Saudis. Previously, the pick of the Milan management was Julen Lopetegui, but the fans objected. Sergio Conceição was also mentioned. However, it is less and less realistic to realize that plan. The same goes for Antonio Conte, who is looking for huge wages and reinforcements that it is uncertain whether the Rossoneri can bring him. Gallardo seems like a certain option.##NAJAVA_MECA_8103889##
