It will be a busy week, from a sporting point of view and beyond. For this reason, the agenda of Gerry Cardinale, the Rossoneri owner, will be entirely dedicated to Milan. The club patron will arrive tomorrow evening to watch the match against Udinese: the second away trip in a few days, which is crucial for the league standings and the mood within the group after the heavy Europa League defeat, which Cardinale watched on television.
Gerry will be present for the return to Serie A action, and not just for one match. As mentioned, the week is packed with events, and the patron and founder of RedBird will spend seven days in Milan. He will attend two matches on the pitch: the midweek fixture against Bologna on Wednesday evening, followed by the first derby of the season, as relayed via La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
There are also Rossoneri commitments that will not strictly concern the sporting side but will be followed with the same utmost attention.
Thursday will be the key day: the shareholders' meeting is scheduled, at which all the latest matters concerning the Rossoneri will be discussed. This will then be followed by the presentation of the new stadium.
For this event, scheduled for the afternoon in the Viscontea Hall of Milan's Sforza Castle, Inter and Milan will unveil the details of the new stadium that they will own. On Saturday evening, the fixture calendar will bring the two clubs back together on the pitch for their first direct league encounter.
These are events and crucial milestones, both on and off the pitch, for the present and future of the Rossoneri club. Since the start of the season, Cardinale has made a habit of personally following all matters concerning the life of the club, so he would never miss commitments of this kind.
The crucial week begins tomorrow, with Milan called upon to bounce back immediately after their European defeat.
