After days of uncertainty and numerous rumours about the possible arrival of a new executive figure, Gerry Cardinale has made a definitive decision. Milan will not appoint a new head of the football department and will continue to operate through an internal structure made up of several key figures. A choice that confirms the ownership's intention to rely on a shared management model.
Within this new setup, Ruben Amorim will be responsible for leading the technical side of the project. In his role as coach-manager, the Portuguese will identify the priorities for improving the squad, specifying which areas need strengthening, the qualities required, and the profiles best suited to his footballing philosophy.
Once the team's needs have been identified, the scouting department and the group dedicated to data analysis will be tasked with selecting the most suitable players. The search will focus on profiles capable of meeting both the technical requirements and the club's financial needs.
According to Cardinale's plan, the strategic committee will consist of himself, Amorim, Almstadt, Gardiner, Calvelli and Castelblanco, with external input from Senior Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, attention must also begin to shift to matters on the pitch, and Tuttosport discusses what could be a possible option: "Milan, Amorim's plan. Jashari as a deep-lying playmaker alongside Rabiot. The 2002-born player needs to relaunch his career and could do so in a new role next to the Frenchman."
