Changes are coming at AC Milan. The coaching staff will change, and there will be changes in the management team. The 2024/2025 season has been too disappointing not to bring about revolutions – even though it could end with an unexpected comeback into the Champions League spots – and this will happen in a few weeks when some of the issues will be resolved.
First, the next sporting director needs to be identified, a new figure to be added to the team, and then this person, along with CEO Giorgio Furlani, will have to choose the next coach, as Sergio Conceição's time on the Milan bench is already coming to an end.
Who is the favourite for the sporting director role at AC Milan?
As mentioned, the sporting director will be chosen first. Three profiles are ahead of the others: Tony D'Amico, Igli Tare, and Fabio Paratici. The latter, who is a former Juventus and Tottenham executive, is currently in pole position. In recent days, as reported by calciomercato.com, there was a dinner with Massimiliano Allegri, one of the names linked to the Milan bench for next season.
In reality, the two did not discuss Milan, of course, but it was an opportunity to resolve past misunderstandings and rebuild a new and positive rapport, as relayed via Calciomercato.com.
Furlani - Paratici - Allegri triangle?
Soon to be available again, after the referral for the Plusvalenze case, director Paratici is a profile that satisfies everyone at Milan. In recent weeks, Paratici met with Ibrahimovic and Cardinale, and in the last few days, as reported by Repubblica, there was also contact in Milan with Furlani, who, as recently confirmed, will be the one to have the final say on the club's future decisions.
Paratici, for his part, has expressed his openness to Milan, eager to get back in action. According to the newspaper, he could start as an external consultant before becoming fully operational. The Furlani-Paratici-Allegri triangle is becoming more concrete and could open a new era at Milan
