Speaking in the studios of Sportitalia during the program 'Sportitaliamercato', Alfredo Pedullà took stock of the situation at Milan between the discussion concerning the sporting director and the new coach:
"What does Milan have to do? Start over with a real coach. You rightly ask me about Tare, but rightly today everyone was invited, maybe even our relatives were invited to this match (they laugh in the studio). If I tie Tare's presence... if they want to get Tare, they will get him. Then, if tomorrow morning they will explain to us why they didn't get him in the previous two months when they could have, fine. I don't think there are that many coaches. We have worked with Gianluigi (Longari) on the matter of the sporting director. I have been giving you, for a few weeks now, I would say for a few months, the name of Sarri to include in this list."
Pedullà continued to talk about Milan and the Tony D'Amico trail:
"We have to see how it will end in Bergamo with D'Amico. The latest news is that Atalanta, if D'Amico decided to leave, would not hold him back by force, despite Percassi's statements a few weeks ago, who legitimately, with a team fighting for an objective, said that D'Amico is untouchable. It's also possible they won't take him. And above all, D'Amico was tied to Gasperini, whom patron Percassi is trying to confirm, which cannot be ruled out. So it's an open game, because Percassi would like to confirm him, he is connected to D'Amico and also to the other coaches."
