During his usual column for TMW, journalist Fabrizio Biasin spoke about Milan and the search for a new sporting director by CEO Giorgio Furlani:
"[...] Furlani is interested in Milan’s fate, of course, but even more so in his own. If the two things align, great. But if someone tries to steal his spotlight (in this case, Ibra), then all hell breaks loose—he gets a bit angry and flies off to the Americas. Which, to be fair, is understandable; in his position, we’d be mad too. However, at the same time, we’d also be looking for solutions beyond the usual refrain of 'decisions at Milan are made collectively.' It’s not true that decisions in Italian clubs are made collectively—one person decides. The alternative is chaos. Berlusconi’s Milan is the perfect example of 'vertical and enlightened management.' Horizontal management, on the other hand, is useful only when it comes to shifting blame: 'Who made the mistake?' 'Everyone.' Oh well.
Milan is looking for a sporting director. And that’s absolutely the right move. Tare was mentioned, but it seems he’s only liked by one faction. So maybe Paratici wins out, as he’s favored by the other. Whether it’s one, the other, or someone else entirely, the important thing is that the chosen candidate has the freedom to shape Milan’s future. And that they clearly establish the terms of engagement. Otherwise, there’s no point.
Good old Conceição won’t be confirmed—it seems obvious to everyone. Yet, after winning the Supercoppa, he could still win the Coppa Italia, securing a spot in the Europa League. Sure, missing out on fourth place and a Champions League berth would be a huge issue—but would it really be such a disaster? [...]"
