The search for AC Milan's next coach looks like it has come to an end.
It's seemed like a foregone conclusion since March that Filippo Inzaghi would not continue as Milan manager beyond this season. The hiring of the legendary striker was an ambitious gamble. He had never coached at the senior level and was being entrusted with a team lacking in overall quality, especially in the defense.
Add to that the pressure to succeed immediately after the team failed to qualify for Europe for the first time since the 1990s, and this season was a disaster waiting to happen.
