AC Milan have been linked to Roberto De Zerbi in recent months, and it seems that the Italian’s current situation may be deteriorating.
Even last summer, when Stefano Pioli was heading towards an exit, De Zerbi was mentioned. But in truth, the links extend far past that. The Italian’s name has been constantly linked to the Milan job since his Brighton team started to take off.
Formerly a Rossonero himself, the coach’s stocks have grown at a staggering rate, and even at Marseille, he has still been rather admired. But the Diavolo have never taken the step towards him yet, and it remains to be seen if they will.
As L’Equipe (via Gazzetta dello Sport) write this morning, his situation in France is seemingly deteriorating quickly with the coach refusing to work with the players at the start of the week, after a poor defeat at the weekend.
In fact, the sporting director was forced to step in and mediate, with the players ‘furious’ at their coach. This is not a new thing, though. Throughout the season, the report writes that the coach has been regularly hard on his team, leaving them ‘unstable’ mentally and tactically.
Now, though, they are united, which is something he wished for; the only issue is that they are united against him, which could change his own future.
