A pact that, for now, is not meant to happen. After various contacts and meetings between Igli Tare and Giorgio Furlani, there has still been no move to the next phase, that of signing the contracts. The feeling that grows hour by hour is that Milan would like to freeze the track leading to the former Lazio sporting director while waiting to see if openings might arise for other candidates who are currently still contractually tied to other clubs. A strategy that carries with it the risk of missing out on some important trains for the future.
The AC Milan line...
The decision to reverse the choice made over the last two seasons not to rely on a sporting director was made by the Rossoneri club immediately after the January transfer window. A choice that was the direct consequence of both management difficulties and the many problems encountered during a season that saw the club abdicate, two months early, from the Champions League race. The line was clear from the start: to rely on an Italian sporting director or one who has long experience in our Serie A. But after the backtrack on Paratici, the doubts about Tare, and the difficulties regarding Giovanni Sartori and Tony D’Amico, surprises cannot be ruled out.
Milan CEO Furlani and a possible foreign track?
Milan needs a sporting director of international caliber if it truly wants to begin an ambitious new chapter. And the Italian market does not offer many possibilities of this kind. Giorgio Furlani is buying time because he is aiming for the best possible choice. From London, different directives could arrive in the coming days, such as the idea of starting to also consider foreign candidates. One track leads to Eintracht Frankfurt and to the 44-year-old Markus Krösche.
