Italian Serie A News :: Ancelotti under pressure to deliver Scudetto for AC Milan

Posted on 2008-08-29 by Gooner

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti's reign could come to an end if his side do not win the Scudetto this season.

The Rossoneri have not clinched the Italian league title since 2004 yet Ancelotti has remained in charge, with Milan's success in the Champions League - they won it in 2007 - one of the main reasons why.

In the 2007-08 season, though, Milan, despite having one of the most talented squads in the world, finished fifth in Serie A which was not good enough to earn a place in Europe's elite club competition.

Even though they will not mix it with Europe's best this season, they have still managed to sign Ronaldinho from Barcelona, Mathieu Flamini from Arsenal and their prodigal son Andriy Shevchenko following a fruitless two years at Chelsea.

Having watched Internazionale win the league last term, Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said:
"Milan is a Scudetto team, the coach knows that. We must fight for the title. This doesn't mean that we cannot lose, but we certainly must be in contention until the last day of the campaign."
