In his interview for the AC Milan official channel, the new sporting director of the Rossoneri club, Igli Tare, has stated following:
"I've had long conversations both with Giorgio Furlani and with Zlatan (Ibrahimović). We've held discussions on all of the dynamics that affect the Club and the overall situation. So, I think I have some clear ideas, and we need to be ready straight away to carry them out. We need to get off to the right start. Expectations are high, because it's been a really long season with a lot of disappointment. I watched it from the outside, so I've arrived with clear ideas..."

Tare continued:
"You must learn from your mistakes and to get right to business with enthusiasm, energy, and a hunger to take AC Milan back to what it has always been and the way we've viewed it throughout the Club's history. We need to be clear on one thing: AC Milan is a Club that demands immediate results. AC Milan is a Club that needs to win. I'm aware of this, and I'm ready to take on the challenge because we need to ensure that we win but with clear ideas. To that effect, my role in that is vital in order to apply the right strategy when it comes to the players and, more importantly, giving playing time to the youngsters."
