Down to Ten Men

AC Milan head coach Vincenzo Montella has got a vote of confidence from sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli following the Rossoneri's 2-0 defeat at the hands of AS Roma on Sunday.

The Serie A outfit succumbed to their third loss in seven league games over the weekend, and this has increased the pressure on the manager, who spent over €200 million on 11 players in the summer.

In football’s own Garden of Eden, nothing ever seems to stay rosy for long. Less than six months after making history with his Chelsea side, Antonio Conte is being linked with a move away from London.

The 48-year-old is being touted for a return to the Italian national team ahead of the World Cup in 2018 – assuming they win their play-off match, that is, after being resoundingly outpointed by Spain in their qualification group.

Roma ace Alessandro Florenzo has insisted that he has come back stronger after recovering from consecutive anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

The right-back played the full 90 minutes of the 3-0 triumph over Hellas Verona, and it was his first competitive appearance in almost a year.

Totttenham Hotspur have finally made their first signing of this summer’s transfer window in the person of Ajax Amsterdam’s Davidson Sanchez after the Dutch giants reportedly agreed to accept Spurs’ €40 million.

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger says he is awaiting justice from world football regulating body FIFA and the Italian Football Association after he suffered racial abuse last term.

The former AS Roma star moved to England in a £34 million deal but he has not forgotten his experience in Italy.

The chairman of Inter Milan, Erick Thohir has recently talked about the situation that his club has been going through as the Italian outfit had to settle with the 7th spot of the Serie A standings which is not good enough for them to qualify or compete in any of the European competitions for the upcoming season of 2017-18.

This is a significant drop for them as Inter Milan had secured the 4th spot during the previous season of 2015-16.
