Marco Giampaolo’s brother has claimed that Milan set him up to fail. “They didn’t build him a team compatible with his characteristics.”
The former Sampdoria boss was sacked just four months into his Milan tenure last October, winning three of his seven Serie A games.
“Marco deservedly went to Milan, but they didn’t build him a team compatible with his characteristics,” Federico Giampaolo told Calciomercato.com.
Marco Giampaolo’s brother has claimed that Milan set him up to fail. “They didn’t build him a team compatible with his characteristics.”
The former Sampdoria boss was sacked just four months into his Milan tenure last October, winning three of his seven Serie A games.
“Marco deservedly went to Milan, but they didn’t build him a team compatible with his characteristics,” Federico Giampaolo told Calciomercato.com.
“Many players he asked for weren’t signed so he had to adapt to the players he had at his disposal.
“There were only a few with him during preseason. Many didn’t have theirs with him, there were so many problems to smooth out. He needed time because he didn’t have everyone together.
“What surprised me was his sacking after Milan won away from home. It’s true, he had problems, but he was close to the European spots. I saw little in the way of professionalism.
“It’ll be up to him to clarify things: I talked to him and it was a missed opportunity. He’ll have some things to say, which until now he hasn’t said out of respect and as per the terms of his contract. It wasn’t a good experience.”
The ex-Pescara forward was then asked what the future held for Marco, amidst speculation of a move to Turkey.
“I’m sure he will get an opportunity at another team, although I don’t know if that’ll be in Italy or abroad.
“His experience at Milan will also have had a positive effect on his general understanding of the world of football.
“Marco has passion and a desire to coach.”
