Milan play Atalanta tomorrow. Atalanta is still clawing for a UEFA Cup spot and I have seen them play a few games this year. Milan need to be on their toes. They should be able to win comfortably even with their lingering injury woes but they need to play all 90 minutes. Fiorentina are breathing down their necks to get into 3rd place and while they have a tricky match against Palermo I think they will putt it out. Milan needs all 3 points and head coach Carlo Ancelotti will still be under pressure.
It is basically confirmed that if Milan do slip out of 3rd Ancelotti's time at Milan is over. He is the longest tenured coach in Serie A and has led Milan to Champions League glory 2 times and 1 Scudetto. But like Benitez the league really has been his weakness and I think that even if Milan stay in third it might be time for a change. I personally like him and often agree with his tactics. I love the 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation and many of the players he has brought in have been immense for the Rossoneri. However it has been a long time and many of the players too are getting fairly old. I think, like Rafa Benitez, that he should be given (if he wants it) one more year to bring home some more serious hardware but I at the same time I would be a lot more worried if Liverpool lost Benitez.
So we'll see how the rest of the year pans out. As for tomorrow I predict Milan wins it 2-0 at the San Siro with at least one goal from my man Pippo Inzaghi.
