“I’d only take on the national team in a few years. Not now. It’s not a money problem,” Carletto told the Corriere. Beyond clarifying his position, the former Milan gaffer threw in what looks like an implicit endorsement of Antonio Conte’s current tenure.

The former Juventus and Roma stalwart had further revelations about Milan’s recent attempt at luring him back to the San Siro, where he won two Champions League and a Serie A title with Silvio Berlusconi’s team.
“I had a lot of doubts during the negotiations. That said, they were of a personal nature.
“Galliani certainly told me the truth, as Milan have gone on to spend and acquire some excellent players, just as he promised me”.
