The website of La Gazzetta dello Sport reports on a peculiar Sunday for Igli Tare, the Sporting Director of the Rossoneri, whom many consider to be on his way out after weeks of rumours about changes within the club’s management. Despite the speculation, AC Milan defeated Genoa CFC thanks above all to players personally chosen by the Albanian director.

Among them, Christopher Nkunku stood out, too often regarded as a poor signing but the author of a convincing performance. The Frenchman seems to perform at his best when he is trusted: it happened at the beginning of the year and again in the last few matches, marked by the team’s collective struggles. In an attack that is no longer scoring, with Santiago Giménez still below par, he is the player currently in the best form: number 18 is expected to be confirmed against Cagliari Calcio. Zachary Athekame also impressed beyond his goal, while Ardon Jashari finally made his mark, despite a few nerve-racking plays.
Tare, however, is still waiting for the already well-known management shake-up. The words of owner Gerry Cardinale, who admitted mistakes in the club’s transfer market management, weigh heavily on his future. Meanwhile, the club has shown interest in several Sporting Director profiles. Could the seat at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris next to the owner have ultimately been just a coincidence?
