At his first real test as an executive at Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has failed, also because absorbing and accepting an elimination like Tuesday's against Feyenoord is anything but simple.
The RedBird Senior Advisor has embodied the club’s public image, now finding himself navigating rather stormy waters alongside only Sergio Conceição.
Ibrahimovic will have to endure the blows at least until next summer, when Gerry Cardinale will appoint a pure sporting director alongside him. The names that have surfaced for this role include former Juventus executive Fabio Paratici, who remains suspended until the fall but could initially operate as a consultant, Andrea Berta, who parted ways with Atletico Madrid last January after more than a decade of collaboration, François Modesto, formerly of Monza, and Igli Tare, who has previously been linked to the Rossoneri club.
These are all highly qualified profiles, as they are professionals who would fit perfectly into the Rossoneri's organizational structure, as relayed via Milannews.it.
This new figure in management will soon be introduced... but what will happen to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Geoffrey Moncada, and Giorgio Furlani?
The RedBird Senior Advisor’s position within Milan’s hierarchy will remain unchanged, unlike the current technical director, Moncada, who would return full-time to his scouting chief role.
Meanwhile, Furlani would become the point of reference for financial matters, to whom the sporting director would turn when assembling the squad.
