Milan
The team played under the leadership of Piola until the summer. It was this specialist who returned her to the status of a real, full-fledged giant, again started playing in the Champions League, reaching the playoffs there, and winning the Scudetto. And last season there was second place in Calcio. However, they decided to change the leadership of the mentor in 2024. And the fact that it was a bad idea was tacitly recognized, and Paula Fonseca was fired before the New Year. His successor, Sergio Conceição, started triumphantly, with victories over Juventus and Inter and victory in the Super Cup. But then there was only a draw with Cagliari, which immediately showed that there would still be enough problems. And most likely, Serie A will be the priority for the Portuguese now. After all, in the Champions League, after losing to Liverpool and Bayer, the Italians won four times and already guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs.

The club shot last season. Then he, who had spent only three seasons in the Premier League before that, was able to finish in the top three, missing only Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Michel Sanchez stayed, but he can’t cope with the coaching staff. In Primera, things are still more or less not bad, there is a chance to get into the zone of European Cups. But in the Champions League, the debutant began to fail from the very beginning, because of Gazzanigga’s blunder PSG lost. Then there were defeats in the second rounds, and only Slovan, the main outsider, won at home 2:0. However, the chances for the playoffs still remain, even if they are theoretical.
