After reaching a total agreement on the sporting (and financial) aspects, negotiations between Fabio Paratici and Milan for the role of sporting director have come to an abrupt halt. When drafting the contracts, issues arose regarding clauses related to his ban, prompting the Rossoneri club to reconsider. As things stand, the negotiation has collapsed, reopening the selection process with several candidates ready to re-enter the race.
Tare and D'Amico linked to Milan once again:
Which profiles will the Rossoneri club now focus on? This is the question likely on the minds of many Milan fans. Igli Tare had reached a preliminary agreement with Zlatan Ibrahimović during their two London meetings and could re-enter the race two years after leaving Lazio. Giorgio Furlani is set to meet with the Albanian executive in the coming days, as well as hold an initial discussion with Tony D’Amico, Atalanta’s sporting director. The latter is highly regarded by Milan and could emerge as the leading candidate for the role of sporting director.
Giovanni Manna's name also on the radar...
A third, more complicated option leads to Giovanni Manna, Napoli’s sporting director. His work has been highly appreciated by Giorgio Furlani. However, the move is difficult due to Napoli and president Aurelio De Laurentiis, who are very pleased with the former Juventus executive and want to continue their growth trajectory together. With this latest setback in the Paratici negotiations, Milan’s search is set to take even longer as they reassess their options.
Once a new sporting director is chosen, there will be time to choose the new tactician at Milanello. In fact, it seems that Sergio Conceicao's future is sealed, even if his team ends up winning the Coppa Italia trophy.
By the way, if you are keeping a close eye on the team's progress in the cup, you know they may have a chance to secure a victory against their bitter rivals, Inter, on April 25. However, while you wait for that fixture, you can pass the time by visiting the online casino site bd, and who knows, you might strike gold, just as Conceição hopes to.
There are several coaches linked with a move to the Rossoneri currently, as per the latest updates, including Roberto De Zerbi. The former Sassuolo and Brighton boss, currently at Marseille, however, has denied any contacts with AC Milan. Here's what he had to say about the matter in a recent press conference:
"Everyone is free to say what they want. No one has called me, no club. As I’ve always done, I’m not talking to or flirting with any team. My intention is to stay here for many years. A marriage takes two, so we’ll have to see how the season ends."
De Zerbi added:
"The Milan news? I said clearly that it wasn’t true. I haven’t spoken to anyone and I won’t speak to anyone."
