La Storia del Milan è in lacrime per la scomparsa di Franco Baresi. Il suo esempio e la sua profondità saranno, per sempre come la sua maglia numero 6, parte integrante e fondamentale del DNA e del cammino di tutto il Club. Le condoglianze che AC Milan porge alla famiglia tutta di Franco Baresi sono le stesse che ogni tifoso rossonero fa a sé stesso in un'ora così dura.

The entire history of AC Milan is in tears following the passing of Franco Baresi. His example and integrity will be forever etched into the Club's DNA, just as his iconic number 6 shirt is. The condolences AC Milan extends to Franco Baresi's family at such a difficult time are shared by every Rossonero, who feels this loss as their own.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

Sad news from Italy as Franco Baresi has passed away this morning at 66 years old.

An absolute legend of the game with AC Milan and Italy, marking an era for different generations.

Thoughts and prayers with the family and the friends.

Rest in peace, Franco. ❤️🕊️

Hm, I actually very much agree with him, why exactly I thought pirlo was a great choice, someone to grow long term with the team.

I’m beyond my limits with this federation.

I’ll always support, but honestly you can all fuck off.

[Full90 @Full90Official]

🚨 Pep Guardiola on rejecting the Italy job: “The problem goes far beyond the manager.”

“Perhaps now people understand why I made that decision.

Managing a national team is about far more than standing on the touchline every few months. Success begins with unity. There has to be complete trust between the manager, the federation, the technical department and everyone responsible for the direction of football.

Italy is one of the biggest football nations in history, but they have now missed three consecutive World Cups. Any coach who accepts that job isn’t just expected to qualify again; he’s expected to restore an identity, rebuild belief and return Italy to competing for the biggest trophies.

That doesn’t happen by changing one coach after another. It requires rebuilding from the foundations. The structure, the vision, the youth development, the decision-making—everything has to move in the same direction. Players alone cannot carry that responsibility.

In the short time I spent evaluating the project, I realised this wasn’t the right moment for me. Sometimes the bravest decision is to step away before accepting a challenge that doesn’t yet have the stability needed for success.

We all know the saying: Rome wasn’t built in a day. The same applies to rebuilding Italian football. It needs patience, clear leadership and a long-term plan—not just another managerial appointment every time results don’t go the right way.”

[Joe @HeartOfSteel__7]

Whenever there was a small amount of hope it all just gets pulled out from underneath.

I love my Italian heritage but fuck me i do not like all this exact kind of shit.

So many egos and pride running all of this.
I support whatever option keeps maldini

🚨 Update from Di Marzio on Italy’s coaching situation: 🇮🇹

There are two possible scenarios:

1️⃣ (Most likely): Roberto Mancini returns as Italy coach, with Paolo Maldini resigning and Giorgio Chiellini potentially replacing him as technical director.

2️⃣: Paolo Maldini stays, with Thiago Motta becoming Italy’s new head coach.

Which do you prefer?

[ᜰ @markklfc]

Paolo Maldini sull’arrivo di Andrea Pirlo come nuovo commissario tecnico della Nazionale italiana.

🗣️ “Il calcio italiano ha passato troppi anni ad accettare l’inaccettabile. Basta scuse, basta mediocrità, basta accontentarsi. L’Italia è una Nazionale che deve competere per vincere ogni trofeo, non per partecipare.”

“Andrea Pirlo non ha accettato questo incarico perché è comodo. Lo ha accettato perché conosce il peso della maglia azzurra e sa che allenare l’Italia significa convivere ogni giorno con la pressione. Chi ha paura delle critiche non può guidare questa Nazionale.”

“Da oggi finiscono gli alibi. Non voglio più sentire parlare di ricostruzione per dieci anni o di progetti senza risultati. Questa è una Nazionale quattro volte campione del mondo. La nostra storia ci obbliga a pretendere l’eccellenza.”

“Ho voluto Pirlo perché conosce perfettamente cosa rappresenta questa maglia. Sa che il talento da solo non basta. Servono disciplina, carattere, personalità e una fame di vittorie che negli ultimi anni è mancata troppo spesso.”

“I giocatori devono capire una cosa molto semplice: il nome sulla maglia conta più del nome sulla schiena. Nessuno avrà il posto garantito. Non mi interessa la reputazione, non mi interessa quello che hai fatto in passato. Se non meriti di giocare per l’Italia, resterai fuori.”

“Questa Nazionale è diventata troppo comoda. E quando un gruppo si abitua alla comodità, smette di avere la mentalità dei campioni. Con Pirlo ogni allenamento sarà una battaglia e ogni convocazione dovrà essere conquistata.”

“I tifosi italiani sono stanchi delle parole. Vogliono vedere una squadra che lotti, che domini le partite e che faccia tornare gli avversari ad avere paura dell’Italia. Questo deve essere il nostro obiettivo, e qualsiasi cosa in meno sarà un fallimento.”

“Non abbiamo scelto Andrea Pirlo per gestire la situazione. Lo abbiamo scelto per cambiare la mentalità di questa Nazionale. Chi pensa che questo progetto sia fatto di piccoli passi non ha capito cosa significa allenare l’Italia.”

“Da oggi in poi ci sarà un solo metro di giudizio: vincere. Nel calcio italiano il secondo posto non è un traguardo, è una delusione. Andrea Pirlo conosce questa responsabilità e sono convinto che farà di tutto per riportare l’Italia dove merita di stare.”

[Joe @HeartOfSteel__7]

@MilanEye Media post!!! Get the fuck out of here. I wouldn’t even allow him with the team

[Joe @HeartOfSteel__7]

In my personal opinion someone like this is perfect for this role!!!!

This is not club football. Especially given the current circumstances they need someone for a long term project.

He’s perfect!! I think this is going to work so great. Well done!!

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🇮🇹 BREAKING: Andrea Pirlo accepts the verbal proposal and he’s set to become new Italy head coach, here we go!

Pirlo said yes to long term project presented by Paolo Maldini and Leonardo.

He’s set to sign in the upcoming days, waiting for formal steps.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨❤️🖤 BREAKING: Luka Modrić has verbally agreed to sign new deal at AC Milan.

The Croatian legend continues and doesn’t retire with formal green light given to the club.

Modrić will sign new short term deal at Milan soon, he spoke to Rúben Amorim too. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

@theMadridZone @DiMarzio He said he enjoys wearing the Rossoneri more than the Croatian jerseys @catinacone

Also would like to say Argentina have looked stupid with their antics. Pushing players, yellows for descent and constantly going after the ref. Now in a game that you were lucky to survive to extra time your down a man. All that shit hurts your team so much.

[Joe @HeartOfSteel__7]

Argentina has looked so unsettled. It’s not Spain being that much better, Argentina have just been bad. So many wasted balls. Spain has been terrible at finishing.

This hasn’t really been a good game at all lol

[Joe @HeartOfSteel__7]

Offside is not meant to be called for people’s toe nails and the tips of the limbs. If they are making changes if anything they should change the rule to be the torso or a more distinct portion of the body, no limbs and all these millimetres

[Joe @HeartOfSteel__7]

This just had the feels of an amazing game!!!!

Maybe the best team win!!

[Milan Posts @MilanPosts]

📑 A. Ramazzotti in @Gazzetta_it this morning: Four years ago, Chelsea submitted a €100M€ offer for Leão. Since then, his performances have declined. Over the past two seasons, he has become increasingly inconsistent and has gone from being Milan's match-winner to a target for criticism from the fans.

@JeyBuggie Well his picture is in the post so I assume he would be one mentioned in this

[Joe @HeartOfSteel__7]

This is very true, and fonseca was the first to stop playing leao.

I love the way pulisic plays, but he does have a very strange personality. I like pulisic a lot, but I don’t know exactly what goes on at the field and locker room level.

The point is very true tho.

« Je ne sais pas si Milan a compris cela.

Le PSG a remporté deux Ligues des champions après s'être séparé de joueurs qui n'étaient pas prêts à travailler pour l'équipe.

Ils ont compris qu'aucun individu n'est plus grand que le club. » 🔴⚫️

¡LA HISTORIA MÁS TRISTE DE ESTE MUNDIAL! 💔

N’Golo Kanté le dice adiós a la Copa del Mundo sin haber disputado ni un solo minuto.

El campeón del mundo fue convocado, pero Didier Deschamps decidió no darle participación en todo el torneo. Ni siquiera en el partido por el tercer puesto, donde muchos esperaban verlo despedirse dentro del campo.

Así termina el último Mundial de uno de los futbolistas más queridos y humildes de su generación. Gracias por todo, N’Golo Kanté 🇫🇷👏
