Two clubs looking to return to form will do battle today in a friendly between AC Milan and Olympiakos. The match scheduled for 8 p.m. ET will be held at BMO Field in Toronto and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Sports 1 and ESPN Deportes.
Today marks a new era for Italian outfit AC Milan. After sacking manager Clarence Seedorf, the club turned to former striker Filippo Inzaghi to take over the helm. Many of the current players, especially Andrea Poli, believe Inzaghi has the ability to return Milan to glory.
"Inzaghi is a coach who has had this experience with the youth team and won the Viareggio tournament," Poli told the club's official site. "Everybody tells me that he has great enthusiasm. I think it is crucial for a coach and that this enthusiasm can be joined by a group of players who want to rebuild, to win and I think this is an important combination."
"I still do not know what Inzaghi is like as a coach," he added. "They say he is a very organized person who tries to give an identity to the team and this is very important. Being organized is key and I think that Inzaghi will give us a strong identity."
Will AC Milan debut that strong identity in Toronto this evening? Tell us @SportsWN.
