The Serbian's up-and-down coaching career has reached its highest peak so far, but big expectations and new investment at Milan mean he will be on a short leash.
The cumbersome nature with which AC Milan went about dismissing Filippo Inzaghi did nobody any favors, least of all the man himself. Having actively sought a replacement for a period of some weeks now, the club finally did the honorable thing and put the former striker out of his misery just a couple of hours before announcing it had appointed Sinisa Mihajlovic in his place.
The team's highly questionable approach to changing coaches puts extra pressure on the Serbian, who left Sampdoria recently claiming he was ready for a bigger job.
