The failure is total, just like the revolution that Gerry Cardinale has in mind, writes Milan News. After failing to qualify for the Champions League, the Milan owner, who was present yesterday at San Siro, decided that a radical change is needed in the club’s management, where internal conflicts and the passing around of responsibility in recent weeks have produced a disaster. Publicly, everyone spoke about unity and togetherness, but in reality there were several divided factions in constant competition.
This was reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, which explains that before last night’s shocking defeat against Cagliari, it seemed that the blame might fall solely on Giorgio Furlani, but afterwards, rightly so, everyone came back under scrutiny.
The chief executive officer will most likely be the first “victim” of the renewal envisioned by Cardinale, but he will not be the only one; in fact, other executives will follow shortly after: sporting director Igli Tare and technical director Geoffrey Moncada are also set to leave. Their departures are expected to be officially announced in the coming hours, after which there will be extremely intense days spent searching for their replacements.
Gerry Cardinale's decision
There is little time for decisions; a new season must be planned, so Cardinale needs to make these decisions as quickly as possible. The head of RedBird arrived in Milan yesterday, and it is unclear how long he will stay. Before going to San Siro for the match against Cagliari, the Milan owner had a working lunch with Zlatan Ibrahimović, who has also been heavily criticised by the fans, Massimo Calvelli, a board member who will have a leading role in the internal reorganisation, and Chief Brand Officer Montini. Perhaps none of them expected last night’s failure, but now that Champions League qualification has vanished, there is only one thing left to do: total revolution, as relayed via Milannews.it.
