Giorgio Furlani clarified Milan’s future. Taking advantage of the airtime on DAZN and Sky before the match won against Bologna, the Rossoneri CEO confirmed that there are evaluations ongoing in the organizational chart, with the awareness that certain expectations might remain unmet and lead to nothing coming of it. This explains the reason for the various interviews with candidates that have led to a still interlocutory phase.
What are they looking for?
A specific statement by Furlani sparked debate among both Rossoneri fans and professionals in the field: “The transfer market doesn’t start on June 1st, but several months earlier, and we’re already working on it even without a sporting director: the club manages the market, the actors may change. For sure, we’re not standing still.” Clear, precise, and unequivocal words that seem to downplay the Italian idea of the sporting director role, which at Milan would not have the same responsibilities or room to maneuver as it might elsewhere. Between the lines, Furlani reaffirms his central role in sporting decisions, extending his influence well beyond the economic aspect of each operation, which has already been planned.
Atalanta's Tony D'Amico in contention for AC Milan job...
Two years ago, Milan were in the Champions League semifinals, while now they sit ninth in the Serie A table. This is the stark, raw picture of the mistakes made in the last two seasons, which must lead to a structural change. The Rossoneri has much at stake, if not everything, in the choices of the next director and new coach: to err is human, to persist is diabolical. From Easter we have reached the end of the season, the casting timeline has stretched out and still sees Atalanta’s Tony D’Amico in more or less solitary pole position ahead of Igli Tare, Fabio Paratici, and possible foreign outsiders. With the fair question remaining as to whether this is truly a choice shared by everyone internally.
