At this moment, at Milan, very little Italian is spoken both in the locker room and in management.
In all of Milan's great successes of the past, there has always been a strong Italian soul, and for this reason, at the club, they are aiming to make the environment a little more "azzurro," perhaps starting with the new sporting director and the future coach.
Will Milan hire an Italian sports director?
This idea was reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, which explains that at the top of the Rossoneri structure, there is already an Italian, namely CEO Giorgio Furlani, who this week should begin talks with candidates for the role of sporting director. The top executive of the Rossoneri, after the meeting in the United States with owner Gerry Cardinale, is increasingly at the center of the club’s decisions and will therefore be the one to choose who he wants by his side in building the new Milan. Among the "made in Italy" profiles, one stands out in particular: Fabio Paratici, currently the hottest name alongside Igli Tare, who, however, seems to have lost ground in recent hours. Other potential Italian candidates are D’Amico and Sartori, key figures in the technical area of Atalanta and Bologna, respectively. However, there are also some foreign sporting directors in the race: in addition to Tare, there are Markus Krösche, current head of recruitment at Eintracht Frankfurt, and Thiago Scuro, general director of Monaco.
Is Allegri's return to Milan a possibility?
Besides the sporting director role, the new Milan is also aiming to have an Italian on the bench. And for this reason, a strong and concrete option is Massimiliano Allegri, currently without a team, who in his coaching career has already won a lot with the Rossoneri and with Juventus (six league titles, three Italian Super Cups, five Coppa Italia trophies, and he also played in two Champions League finals). The Livorno-born coach obviously knows Serie A well and also the Rossoneri environment, given that he sat on the Milan bench from the summer of 2010 to January 2014.
