Paolo Maldini fired: Carlo Ancelotti crushes AC Milan

Former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti sharply criticized the American ownership’s decision to get rid of Paolo Maldini. “I learned in Madrid that the history of a club should always be respected, here Di Stefano, Amancio, Gento, Puskas are still exclusive values towards which reverence is nurtured. To preserve history at the highest level, the memory of the past must be protected, what happened with Maldini shows a lack of historical culture, of respect for the Milanese tradition. If it is true that with history you do not win, it is also true that history teaches how to win.”

“Football clubs that think they are doing business above the spirit of sport are destined to fail,” Ancelotti sentenced in an interview with Il Giornale. Patronage no longer has the meaning it used to have but businessism is negative.”
