Inzaghi close to Milan sack after Genoa humiliation

ROME: AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi looks set to be sacked after his demoralised side were humiliated 3-1 by Genoa at the San Siro on Wednesday just as owner Silvio Berlusconi moved closer to selling the club to Thai magnate Bee Taechaubol.
The 41-year-old former Italy striker is a legend at the ailing giants.
He won three Serie A titles and two Champions Leagues in 11 years as a Milan player and scored both goals in the 2-1 win over Liverpool in 2008 that sealed the club’s seventh and most recent European Cup/Champions League triumph.
However he has had a miserable time of it since being promoted from the youth set up to manage the first team last summer, and has won only 10 times all season.
Now, with Berlusconi reportedly close to selling a majority stake in the club for a fee of 500 million euros ($555 million), it looks as though Inzaghi will soon be ending a 16-year relationship with Milan.
“Milan is in my heart and it always will be. Let’s see what the club thinks and we’ll see tomorrow (Thursday),” said a distraught looking Inzaghi.
“I never give up, in my career I was the same as a player. I can hold my head high because I’ve given everything. The club will make their decision now.”
