Silvio Berlusconi is attempting to pursuade Carlo Ancelotti to join Milan, after getting sacked by Real Madrid.
The ex-Milan coach had dinner with Adriano Galliani yesterday evening but the meeting didn’t bear fruit. Galliani is staying in Madrid in the hopes of convincing Ancelotti to return to Milan.
According to goal.com the meeting took place at the Wellington Hotel, where Ancelotti reiterated his intention to take a year off. However Galliani wants Ancelotti to be the catalyst to relaunch the rossoneri back to higher ranks of European football.
Galliani plans to remain in Madrid till Thursday, when Ancelotti will leave for Canada (Vancouver) to perform a planned surgery due to a spinal stenosis. According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, the two will meet again for dinner.
Milan seems set to invest this summer and hopes it is an incentive to lure Carletto back.
Meanwhile, Berlusconi was on Radio Capital and said this regarding his attempt to hire Ancelotti
“I hope that Galliani can convince him (Ancelotti) to come to Milan. I am optimistic and so is Galliani. Carletto wanted to take some time off, it is not easy to coach a big club like Real. I hope Galliani, who has a profound mutual respect for Ancelotti can convince him to help us remake Milan great.”
Berlusconi also discussed the rumours about the potential sale of the club.
“I never thought of selling Milan, but only looked for investors to help out financially. I am looking for some help but I didn’t find it yet.”
If things don’t pan out with Ancelotti, Berlusconi already has four alternatives in mind.
“Four alternatives are being considered: one from abroad, the others from Italy.”
Not surprisingly, the rumours are the foreign coach being considered is Siviglia’s Unai Emery. Locally the options being considered are Antonio Conte (Italian national team coach), Maurizio Sarri (Empoli) and Vincenzo Montella (Fiorentina).
