Returned from Dubai, where he had traveled for business commitments (together with Chief Commercial Officer Maikel Oettle, they also met with Principal Partner Emirates, Puma, and Konami, as well as held meetings with H.E. Issam Kazim, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Economy and Tourism, and H.E. Khalfan Belhoul, Vice President of the Dubai Sports Council & Dubai Future Foundation), Giorgio Furlani, Milan's CEO, is now working on selecting the best candidate for the role of sporting director at the club. A crucial, even fundamental choice for the Rossoneri’s near future, which absolutely cannot be mistaken.
Not only Paratici on Milan's radar
Precisely for this reason, as Tuttosport explains this morning, the decision is not imminent, as Furlani wants to select the right name without pressure or anxiety of any kind. At the moment, Fabio Paratici remains in pole position, having been the favorite for weeks to join Milan's management structure, although the decisive meeting to finalize the matter has not yet taken place. The former Juventus and Tottenham executive, who is currently in Milan for a series of meetings and appointments, is not the only name in the running. Other candidates, such as Igli Tare and various other profiles—both Italian and foreign—have also received invitations to the selection process.
Meanwhile, Conceicao hopes for confirmation
Once the sporting director is chosen, it will be up to him to make key decisions, both regarding the players and the coaching staff. In this regard, Sergio Conceição is far from out of the race for a confirmation. Of course, he will need to have an outstanding end to the season to stand a chance of keeping his position, but the Portuguese coach is confident that his team can go all the way in the Coppa Italia and still believes in qualification for the next Champions League.
