Speaking to the microphones of MilanNews.it, the former Lazio player, Lorik Cana, spoke about the shared experience with Igli Tare, his former sporting director at the time of Lazio and among the main candidates to cover the role at Milan:
"We saw each other recently to comment on the Champions League on Albanian TV. We spoke on air only about that, the Milan topic was not dealt with," said the former defender.

Cana continued to talk about Igle Tare:
"We have known each other for 25 years, for me above all he is a friend and obviously my regard for him is very high, first and foremost on a personal level. As a director, the facts speak for him. For now, we leave to him the management of the situation. I can only say that in his profession he is one of the top, and he has shown at a club like Lazio that he can do very well. We Albanians wish him the best, because he is a point of reference on a sporting level for our country."
