During the usual appointment with the Twitch program 'Viva El Futbol', Antonio Cassano spoke about Milan, sharing his thoughts on the choice of the sporting director and the one who will replace Sergio Conceição on the bench starting next season:
"If the Paratici situation comes up, we know he has a good relationship with Allegri, he brings Allegri... Or Napoli's Conte. Either Conte goes, and in fact, there were rumors about Conte. Or number two, Allegri. These are the ones they have to go for if they take Paratici. If they take Berta instead, I don't know him, I don't know what kind of sporting director he is. I don't know Modesto. We’ve seen that Tare knows how to choose coaches, he knows how to choose players. But if you talk about Paratici, Paratici has an excellent relationship with Conte, and he would bring Conte. We need to understand if he can free himself from Napoli. Otherwise, he goes for Allegri."
Cassano then continued:
"It seems that Berta is going to Arsenal. The alternatives are Tare and Paratici. One or the other. Since if you go with Paratici—I'll say it here, five months in advance—either he goes for Conte, and you have to rebuild everything the way he wants, and I don't know if that would work with the American ownership, where they have a say, Furlani speaks, etc. Or they go for Allegri, because Paratici brings a sure choice: either this guy or that guy. Let’s not go beyond the set path."
