Former Italy manager Arrigo Sacchi has blasted Charles De Ketelaere as a “scared loser” due to his struggles at AC Milan. The 76-year-old - who won two European Cups as Rossoneri boss - is losing patience with the summer signing.
Leeds United were among the favourites to buy the Belgian after an impressive season at Club Brugge. However, Milan won the race by stumping up around £30million to lure De Ketelaere to the San Siro.
The exciting project in Serie A was cited as a key reason why he snubbed a move to Elland Road. But the switch has proven a disaster so far, with the 21-year-old yet to score a goal in 15 league appearances. Failing to settle at the Italian giants hampered his World Cup dream, as he made only one appearance in Belgium's doomed group stage exit in Qatar last year.
