Addio a Franco Baresi, protagonista delle grandi sfide del Derby di Milano e una delle figure che più hanno definito la storia della rivalità. Capitano, uomo squadra e bandiera del Milan, ha vissuto ogni confronto con l’Inter tra competizione e rispetto, dentro una sfida che ha scritto pagine indimenticabili del calcio italiano.
Il Presidente Giuseppe Marotta e tutta FC Internazionale Milano si stringono attorno alla famiglia Baresi, al fratello Beppe e all'AC Milan in questo momento di dolore.
🚨 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.”
