Rossoneri Offer Le Fondre, Milan Job



A.C. Milan released a statement on the OfficialMilan Twitter this Evening;

'With the recent departure of manager Javier Aguirre, Officials at Milan have been in contact with Arsenal Head Coach Adam Le Fondre, We have opened talks with Le Fondre and things currently look promising, We have negotiated a deal and Le Fondre looks set to take the helm but nothing yet has been finalised. We wish to apologize to the fans for the rough patch the club is currently situated in and hope that with Adam Le Fondre as Chief we can carry the team away from 12th and into the top 4 of the table'.

Nothing has been confirmed by Gunners boss Le Fondre, who has denied to comment on speculation but has insisted his mind is fully focused on the season ahead with Arsenal.
oooo i love AC Milan ... tough decision lol good luck whatever you do :)

Juventus Announce Delio Rossi Departure, Announce Candidate



Juventus officials announced the sacking of Manager Delio Rossi this evening, With a number of potential managers being lined up to take the Juventus helm. Manuel Pellegrini is current favourite but insiders believe Adam Le Fondre, current Gunners boss who is linked with the A.C. Milan job could be a shock candidate to take the role.

Le Fondre, who recently announced he would not be leaving Arsenal for the Rossoneri, has conceded a move to Turin could be too good to refuse.
Personally, AC Milan is my favorite Italian club, so I'd go for them, but it's not up to me, it's up to Le Fondre. Since he turned them down, he will probably not go to Juve, but who knows.
Dont take the Milan job!!! This is a great story and going Milan will spoil it, get arsenal to the top of the world. My opinion ;)

Le Fondre moves to Pastures New with at Turin



Shock erupted from the Emirates today as manager Adam Le Fondre left the country in a move abroad to manage Italian giants Juventus.

Turin officials sacked previous manager Delio Rossi for Juventus' poor standing in the league as they were situated 5th in a season they were expected to dominate. Adam Le Fondre has agreed a 5-year deal worth 18-million with the Italian Club, and has been handed a 50 million war-chest going into the January window. Mr Le Fondre was spotted jetting out just a week previous and 2 days after the dismissal of Delio Rossi and in some minds was favourite to take the role despite some Gunners fans disbelief.

FMScoutNews has provided coverage of the Live Press Conference;

Press: Adam, You sit here today, managing your 3rd club in 3 seasons, Some might begin to think your a 1-year man, will you be leaving this club after such a short period?

Le Fondre: Hopefully not, I loved my time at Arsenal but after a season like last, the expectations were becoming to heavy, I must win this, I must win that, I was too pressured by the board, but hopefully the Arsenal fans are happy with what I did, I lead them to the top of the league before I left, I told officials here in Juventus I had to get them to the top of the league before I could leave.

Press: That sounds very respectable, But why not try to meet those ambitions, why leave so soon?

Le Fondre: It was a struggle, a draw and the board wanted my head, They wanted a season like the invincibles and unfortunately it wasn't going to be.

Le Fondre is expected to be on around £60,000 per week and has been handed 50 million to improve the squad with the simple goal to 'Win the league'. Maybe not so simple...
Yes! Forza Juve! Thank you Jynx for getting Juve where they belong!

sorry glenn haha, I plan on staying at Juve for a long time, it shouldn't be as easy to win as it was at Arsenal, it became not so much of a challenge, I beat united 3-0 in the league and considering they were second it made it feel to easy :), still follow though won't ya? ;)

Juventus Unveil Signing, And Announce One For The Summer


Adam Le Fondre was in a positive mood today as he revealed the signing of Mattia Destro and announced that a player will arrive in the summer.

Press: This is your first transfer of the window will this be one of many?

Le Fondre: Yes, I hope so, We are looking to bring a few new faces in and that's something I think the club needs to look at and press on with. However we have completed a transfer for Roma's winger Erik Lamela. The deal will bring the players services to us at the end of the season for 15 million.

Press: That's surely great news for Juventus fans, rumours have flown around of a 9 million, 13 and even 17 million price tag, just how much has Destro cost this club.

Le Fondre: 17 million?, That's outrageous, don't get me wrong Mattia is a player with immense quality but 17 million is out of the question, the club were looking to spend around 12 million maximum to bring a striker in, and Mattia has been snapped up at just 9 million.

Press: A real coup then don't you think?

Le Fondre: Yes, Absolutely, I am delighted at the fee we paid, it gives us more quality for value and allows us to improve other areas of the squad.

Press: Interesting, what areas of the squad do you intend to look at and improve may we ask?

Le Fondre: I think the defense needs a bulk up, and a slight influx of youth. Bonucci and Albiol our youngest central defenders are 27, with Albiol unhappy and looking set to leave our next youngest centre backs are Chiellini and Dante both at 31.

Juventus fans have sounded an appreciation for Le Fondre with the transfer of Destro and many have announced they're looking for more of the same in the market.
Destro is good mate. I've had him score on a goal per match ratio!

Hope you get this back up and running cause it was shaping up to be one of the great stories on the board.

Talk about quick promotion. From “unknown” player in Reading to quadruple winner in England and now manager in Juventus in just over two year.

Well done.
