Good morning my friends! Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Wednesday 3 June 2015.
What a morning! We need a strong coffee, double espresso and you bet I want to share the news with you, especially today. Surely, the big news is about Joseph Blatter resigning as FIFA President. Really? Yep, Blatter leaving under heavy pressure for all the corruption scandals going on with FIFA. Corriere dello Sport referring as “the end of the boss.” It’s just a historic day as almost nobody expected his resignation especially after his re-election for a new term last Friday.
Headlines for AC Milan stating a new turning point regarding the coach. Ancelotti saying no to coach Milan, there is coach Sinisa Mihajlovic. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport headline, Ancelotti saying, “Tough to refuse, but I must rest.” Now, the rossoneri after Mihajlovic overtaking the option of Roberto Donadoni and Vincenzo Montella. Berlusoni has the last word: the meeting by tomorrow. Do you think Mihajlovic is the right coach for Milan or to keep Filippo Inzaghi?
Headlines for the Champions League. Messi in Italy per the diet anti Juve. Do you think Messi is really unstoppable?
One headline upsetting me is about Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain being attacked. Damages to Higuain’s car and Andujar’s car having the windshield destroyed.
Blatter FIFA resigning after 17 years and investigated by the FBI. Vice Valckie accussed for corruption. Blatter’s replacement to be elected in the beginning of 2016.
AS for Sampdoria headlines, the new coach is Walter Zenga!
Tutto Sport saying, “Finally, Blatter is gone”
Torino transfer market headline showing the interest to get Sau. Manchester City offering 14, 5 millions for Glik.
