Francesco Letizia, a journalist, commented in his editorial on Sportitalia regarding the rejection of Markus Krösche and Timmo Hardung to the Rossoneri club: "It is convenient to make everyone who wrote that Markus Krösche and Timmo Hardung would be joining AC Milan look foolish. It is even more convenient to cry scandal against the club because this will not happen. But at a certain point it is necessary to choose between what is convenient and what is true, and the outcome is the following: if Eintracht Frankfurt insisted and Krösche was not able to manage the negotiations for his departure from the club in the best possible way, Milan could do nothing about it," as relayed via Milan News.
AC Milan moves on despite the failed arrival of Krösche
"Having said that Krösche would have been a complete guarantee for the new project, AC Milan moves on: the other, positive side of having taken more than three weeks to make a decision is that there is no shortage of candidates, and the shortlist of favourites includes other names considered broadly equivalent in terms of football vision and expertise. Furthermore, all the ‘finalists’ (pointless to throw names around) were asked for their opinion on Gerry Cardinale’s decision to appoint Ruben Amorim as the new coach, and those who replied ‘very good’ have, since yesterday, an even better chance of progressing towards the role of Head of Football. In other words: when one Krösche is lost, another will be found. When? It is reasonable to ask. Rhetorical answer: hopefully as soon as possible."
