Coach Abate is celebrating turning 37 today, his third birthday since taking charge of the Rossoneri’s U19s. AC Milan is his home. Ignazio Abate defended our colours for ten long years during his playing career, and now he’s currently coaching within our Youth Sector. In 2021, in his first coaching job, he guided the U16s to the Scudetto final. He was then asked to take over the Primavera side, with whom he’s achieved great results since July 2022.
Last season was a fantastic journey of growth, culminating in the team reaching the semi-finals of the Youth League, and the Rossoneri have made a fantastic start to the current campaign with many targets still to achieve. Coach Abate doesn’t set limits and has always shown courage and determination. He deservedly signed a new contract in the summer, and his influence and ideas continue to be clearly visible and recognisable. The aim is to be as successful as possible without ever stopping dreaming. From the entire Rossoneri family, happy birthday, Coach!
