In part two of my Big Interview with the eloquent, funny, intelligent Jon Dahl Tomasson we talked coaching, and about how his recent stint as Malmo manager culminated in an at times tough learning experience in the Champions League.

May 16, 2022 Jon Dahl Tomasson: How Ancelotti Managed Milan’s Egos
I caught up with Jon Dahl Tomasson in Rotterdam, the city where he enjoyed one of his greatest moments: scoring in the 2002 UEFA Cup final victory for Feyenoord against Borussia Dortmund.
Jon’s next port of call was AC Milan, where the forward starred alongside greats such as Filippo Inzaghi, Alessandro Costacurta and Andrea Pirlo. There was tough competition for places, but legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti managed the club’s big egos, got under the players’ skin and inspired them with his passion.
