At Casa Milan, a game of chess is underway with the club's leadership at stake between CEO Giorgio Furlani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Senior Advisor of RedBridge and the Milan club. The CEO has become the strongman of the club again after his trip to New York to meet face-to-face with the head of the American investment fund, Gerry Cardinale.
At the heart of the dispute is a strategic decision that is crucial for both the present and future: the choice of the new sporting director. The Swede wanted to personally select this figure with some autonomy, but recent developments have placed Giorgio Furlani at the center of the village.
Milan with Paratici as director, then a new coach?
Last Monday, Giorgio Furlani had a long discussion (about 5/6 hours) with Fabio Paratici: there is good chemistry between the parties, and now the next steps are awaited, which will likely lead to the signing of the former Juventus sporting director.
By the way, while you wait for AC Milan's next match, tou can look into MelBet as it offers you a variety of games to place bets on, including the Rossoneri's. In fact, you can strike gold while also enjoying a win secured by Sergio Conceicao's team. You will also find statistical data on past matches, which will allow you to make an informed decision with more data.
The conversation also touched on the technical management with a 360-degree sharing of ideas, analysis, and vision for the future. Sergio Conceição feels he still has chances of staying, but in the event of a new turn of events, a very likely possibility, the club will head toward another Italian change.
Conte, Allegri or De Zerbi?
A necessary premise: Cesc Fàbregas is a rising coach thanks to his football ideas and already well-known personality in the football world. The connection to Milan conceptually makes a lot of sense, but currently, the chances are not on the rise. The Catalan coach is tied to Como and its long-term project, and he wants to mature and grow alongside the club. Let’s not forget that the former Barcelona player is also a shareholder of the club: in his mind and that of the Hartono brothers – the owners of the Lombard team – there’s at least one more season in charge of Como, perhaps with many of the talents showcased this year still under his management. With Paratici's arrival, the chances of a bid for Antonio Conte, who is tied to Napoli by a contract until 2027, are definitely higher. For Milan's CEO Giorgio Furlani, Massimiliano Allegri remains the best candidate for the club's current needs, as relayed via Calciomercato.com.
And De Zerbi? At the moment, he's an outsider. High quality, but still an outsider. First, however, the appointment of the new sporting director is expected in the second half of April.
