1-was it really that hard to do that well for milan ? 2- Any decent manager would have done well with the players he had. BUT when milan were weakened and needed him most he failed.
1- Yes
2- No
First of all if not for ancielotti we'd probably never would heard of Pirlo, gattuso, kaka and other names in milan....
It was Carlo who discovered Pirlo. I remember exactly when players like pirlo, ventola and others were just some Inter youngsters they were considered just decent players no more but incelotti saw something special in pirlo and brought him to milan. Converted him to a deep-lying playmaker and the rest is history.
The guy reached 3 CL finals winning 2 of them. Try to compare the money that milan invested in players during Ancielotti's days and what other clubs have spent in the same period and you'll know that what ancielotti have done with milan is Really a miracle.
What had leonardo done to be even compared to ancielotti ?!! Nothing yet...
