I THINK THEREFORE I PLAY - ANDREA PIRLO REBUILDS AC MILAN
So here I go again. My Benfica save was going great but got shut down far too soon which was a shame so to bounce back I have decided to restore one of European footballs former powerhouses to the top of European football.
AC Milan have a great history. They have won the Champions League 7 times (also won the Cup-Winners Cup twice), 2nd only to Real Madrid. 18 Serie A titles and 5 Coppa Italias have also been collected amongst others.
However in recent times they have significantly dropped and are just a top half Italian side who aren't even in Europe as they collected a ban for failing financial fair play rules. Basically the club is on a slippery slope and need to stop the demise - they have only won the title twice this century!!!!
There are of course rays of light. In Donnarumma, Paqueta and Romagnoli they have 3 franchise players that I can build my side around and of course there is a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the squad.
So to take Milan back to the top I introduce to you Andrea Pirlo - the new AC Milan manager....
ANDREA PIRLO
Pirlo was a world class footballer. He started out with his local side Brescia and went on to sign for Inter Milan where he spent 3 years before signing for AC Milan for nearly £15m. He spent a decade with AC Milan where he won 2 league titles and 2 Champions Leagues before he was dumped by the club and he promptly signed for Juventus on a free transfer! 4 league titles in 4 years promptly followed and he ended his playing career in the USA with New York City.
For the national side Pirlo won the World Cup in 2006 and in total won a staggering 116 caps and scored 13 goals.

So please follow and comment etc. My aim is to dominate both Italian and European football while I also want to build a young side that heavily relies on Italian players and I should be helped with that due to only being able to sign 1 non-eu player a season.
