MILAN. — AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf awoke to the reality of the real challenges facing his side and question marks over his approach just over a week before welcoming Atletico Madrid to the San Siro. Seedorf replaced Massimiliano Allegri in early January and after crashing out of the Italian Cup quarter-finals to Udinese, the Rossoneri’s league form under the Dutchman has yet to fully convince.
The former Milan midfielder steered his side to two successive wins and a draw to pull clear of the bottom half of the Serie A table and instil some belief that a revival was on.
But the wake-up call came on Saturday when a clinical display by Rafael Benitez’s Napoli exposed the task that awaits Milan if they are to snatch a top five finish and a place in the Europa League next season. — AFP.
