Sigi's tips: Hanging game at AC Milan

Sure: If I had the choice between Leipzig and Milan as my domicile, I wouldn't think twice. Of course, the Lombard metropolis would be my destination, although Leipzig also spruced itself up in the years after the fall of Germany. Maybe the colleagues have Sports Gazette Similar considerations were made in the Ralf Rangnick case and already reported: “It is done.”

It was probably a bit hasty because nothing has been decided yet. It's still a hanging game and Rangnick hasn't yet covered the 883 kilometers between Leipzig and Milan. What is clear, however, is that the former coach and sports director of RB Leipzig, who is currently “Head of Sport and Development Soccer” at Red Bull GmbH, has an offer from AC Milan. There he should become a coach and sports director. At least that is the wish of Ivan Gazidis, the CEO of AC Milan. The South African with Greek roots runs the club from London (he was previously at Arsenal FC) and has clearly stated that Rangnick is his preferred candidate to lead the club back to its previous successes.

This triggered a medium-sized earthquake in Milan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic was right in the middle of this tremor. The eccentric Swede recently showed off a great performance in the classic against Juventus and led the “Immortals” to a 4-2 win after a 0-2 deficit. “Who is this Rangnick, I don’t know him?” That’s how he commented on the reports, knowing full well that he had the fans on his side. Paolo Maldini would fall by the wayside Because if Rangnick came, AC Milan would lose the last institution that still gives this club something like a soul. Paolo Maldini, the current sports director, would lose his job and the supporters are right to ask: Is this still our club that we can identify with? Cesare, Maldini's dad, already played for AC Milan. Paolo until he is 40 years old and his son also plays for the Rossoneri again.

Maldini is somehow still a survivor of the great times. 18 Italian championship titles. Five cup wins. There are also seven successes in the European Cup. That is a more than proud record. AC Milan is still one of the most successful clubs in the world. Many stars helped. I immediately think of the Dutch axis with Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard. At that time, Silvio Berlusconi took over the majority of shares in AC Milan. The club, if it is still a club, now belongs to the New York hedge fund “Elliot”. Rangnick should bring stability Changing ownership relationships have not necessarily contributed to stability recently. At the moment, AC Milan, seventh in the table, is still fighting to at least get into the Europa League. Actually, this isn't necessarily a letter of application for Rangnick, who now, at 62, has one more adventure in mind that will keep him young. He would get a three-year contract and should work as successfully in Milan as he did convincingly in Leipzig. Rangnick has developed a reputation as a great tactician and appears to have a sensitive eye for talent. He certainly has everything he needs to bring the club back to its former greatness. If he actually comes. Maldini or Ibrahimovic certainly wouldn't be sad if they... Sports Gazette this time I leaned too far out of the window.
