Tbf to him though, he was actually alright in Portugal and is for some unexplainable reason, a bit of a cult favourite of mine.

I used to love watching him at times.

Quaresma.

Forgot he existed.

Typed him in to read some misguided hype and ended up with this.

I used to hate him. Although he was pretty good for Porto, I agree.

Barca signed him instead of Ronaldo as they thought he was the more promising player.

This is a joke, it's January 3rd and there hasn't been any signings yet.

But that smart dressing, tactical genius Allegri already had two players signed before the window opened.

I pray Moyes entering Big-a-brother handcuff to Januzaj!
ENJOY HELL YOU SONS OF BÍTCHES!

You're giving Allegri too much credit, that was clearly the work of Galliani.

Did you hear Allegri saying this will be his last Xmas (he's a big Wham fan) at Milan?

I honestly don't know why they would even let him stay until the end of the season.

They could get someone to come in permanently and do a better job or get someone to come in on an interim basis at least.

I love how Allegri's saying that, like it would be his decision.

He said four years is a long time to spend at any club. Imagine how long that four years must have felt to their fans.

He did win a title though.

Thing is he was actually released by Cagliari, and he gets the Milan job? Surely if Cagliari aren't happy with him...then you don't appoint him as Milan manager. He can wave goodbye to his dream of managing Italy too you'd imagine.

Because they had had a good team then. Zlatan, Thiago Silva and Pirlo were still there.

And even Pato and Robinho were scoring plenty.

Milan could get Prandelli after the world cup. Maybe Allegri will get the Italy job then?

His win percentage with Sassuolo is higher than it is with Milan. Says it all.

I dunno who will get the Italy job. Conte seems a good idea, but don't know if he'd take it!

Delio Rossi

Well if Madrid finish 3rd and don't win anything - not beyond the realms of possibility - then it could be Ancelotti.

Davide Moyesi?

Moyes Allegri has a better ring to it.

Italy have a good collection of coaches to choose from so it's ok for them I suppose.

I wish England had that same luxury.

Was thinking how there doesn't seem to be that many really good Spanish managers around at the moment.

Italy, Argentina, and Chile seem to have some really good managers and some promising ones around Europe or working at international level. Spain less so.

This isn't to say there aren't any. I've just been very impressed by some of the managers from those three nations.

Inter are close to a deal for Torino winger, Danilo D'Ambrosio according to reports in Italy.

As long as they don't sign Cerci I don't care.

Allegri now trying to secure another loan deal, this time for Essien who from what I've seen this season is finished.

Allegri is such a clown.

Essien on his way to AC?

I never knew about this. Dinho

Milan two goals up within twelve minutes against Sassuolo, it's now 2-2.

Milan What is up with them.
