Matteo Gabbia, the new head coach of AC Milan, made his debut as a manager on Saturday, taking charge of the team in their Serie A opener against Sassuolo.
Gabbia, who previously played for Milan and spent time at Juventus, has been tasked with rebuilding the struggling side after a difficult season last year. He was appointed head coach by club president Silvio Berlusconi earlier this month.
The match against Sassuolo saw Gabbia make his debut in the dugout, but it was not without its challenges. The Rossoneri struggled to get into their rhythm, and were eventually defeated 1-0 by the visitors.
Despite the loss, Gabbia showed that he is well-prepared for the role, with his tactical knowledge and experience evident throughout the game. He also had to deal with the emotional toll of losing his first match as a manager, but he remained calm and composed throughout.
The appointment of Gabbia as head coach was seen as a positive move by many fans and supporters of the club, with many believing that he will be able to turn things around and help the team return to their former glory.
Overall, Gabbia's debut as head coach was a mixed bag, but he certainly left a lasting impression on those who watched him in action. With the support of his players and the club's faithful fans, he is likely to go on to have a successful tenure at AC Milan.
