Take the trophy out the stadium, stick it in the boot on the bus home, park in the middle of town, walk out into the middle of a public square, lift it there.  Take note Hendo.

Gattuso's sister died recently and she was only 37 so delighted for him that he's able to enjoy winning this trophy.

Atalanta are so good to watch another four goals yesterday, their game against Lazio on Wednesday night should be a cracker between the best two coached sides in the league.

Obviously couldn't see much of tonight but it's by far the best league to watch for me. Loads of fun teams, anyone who says it's boring hasn't been watching for years or only sees Juventus games.

Would love to see them win the Champions league. Sides like them usually come up short but they’ve got so much motivation after what’s happened there.

Agreed best team to watch in world football and they are so dangerous going forward even if they are 4-0 down in a game you wouldn't be shocked if they got a result. The job Gasperini has done with them has to up there with the best managerial jobs of the decade, I also loved watching Gasperini's Genoa side with Milito and Motta before Inter took them two.

I kinda disagree. Monaco had elite talents in their team. No disrespect to Atalanta players but none of them are as good Mbappe, Fabinho, Moutinho, Bernado silva etc.

I do really like Goosens, Zapata and Ilicic a lot though.

They more similar to us in 12/13 season. Great going forward, dodgy defence but always entertaining.

Ilicic is among the best players in Serie-A this season.

I love him. But I do think his performances have a lot to do with the system they play. I wouldn't say he as talented as Mbappe for example. He has great technique, a thunderous shot and good game intelligence.

But Atalanta's system creates a scenario that leads their attackers to shine and occasionally make their defenders look like mugs.

Reminds me of a bit of Zeman's teams.

I am with defacto on this Conte should be getting Inter to challenge if Lazio can and for me it just goes to show that Inzaghi is a superior coach to Conte. Hopefully Inzaghi stays at Lazio for a long long time as I don't want him anywhere near the Premier League.

Atalanta gonna end up finishing 3rd again at this rate as Inter are currently losing 1-0 to Parma.

Inter turned it around 2-1 now

They should be. Agreed. They're 4 points behind Lazio who're in turn 4 points behind Juve.

Hope we have a good title race.

You have to keep in mind that this is the 4th season for Simeone Inzaghi at Lazio, so he has a set team and this is Conte's 1st season with Inter. Inzaghi is really good to have brought them this far, but how can you conclude that he is better than Conte, who has won titles in two different top leagues already and is much more proven?

Btw, Conte won the League and the FA Cup in two seasons at Chelsea, if Klopp did the same in the next two seasons, we'd be calling those two seasons as a success. Trigger happy Chelsea sacked him straight away, but then they keep hiring and sacking managers, even those that won them League titles. I know Sarri is not loved that much in England, but he took Napoli to 91 points and still finished 2nd - it would've won the league in most Serie-A seasons. He is under-rated. He wins the Europa League, finishes 3rd behind 98 and 97 point scoring teams and still gets sacked at Chelsea in 1 season without having a chance to implement his philosophy. Lampard is doing a good job, but he won't get them near a title how much ever they spend.

Amazing signing by Inter getting Hakimi. God knows why no one in Prem has gone for him. His numbers are right up there with Trent's. He will work perfectly as s right wing back for a Conte team.

Now official.

Ralf Rangnick agrees to become Milan manager for start of 2020-21 season

Milan have reached a deal with Ralf Rangnick to become the club’s new manager for the 2020-21 season. The German will replace Stefano Pioli, who has been in charge since October last year.

The 62-year-old Rangnick has already agreed to become the club’s new manager but will also hold discussions with the Milan hierarchy to combine that role with that of sporting director, a position currently held by Paolo Maldini.

Rangnick made his name as a manager of Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig in Germany and has also been sporting director for Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg. He has been working as head of sport and development at Red Bull since the summer of 2019.

The 62-year-old has been linked with several high-profile jobs in the past year, including Manchester United and Bayern Munich. He has now agreed a deal, expected to be for three years, to take over the Rossoneri after the current season.

Pioli has actually overseen an improvement in results in recent weeks but the club are still in seventh, 29 points behind leaders Juventus, who they meet on Tuesday night, and 17 points adrift of Atalanta in fourth.

I'm intrigued by this project. If Ralf is given enough trust he could be their Klopp. It would take time but I genuinely believe he could at the very least kick them in the right direction for the first time since 2012.
