On the pages of Corriere dello Sport, Franco Ordine spoke like this about the choice of Milan’s new sporting director:
"This then is the time when a new sporting director must begin to work. First of all, he must enter into the particular mechanism of the Rossoneri management, which is accustomed to making decisions shared with all the other executives — horizontal governance — namely CEO Furlani, Ibra, and Moncada, who would return to dealing with the sector where he performed best (scouting) rather than building a team."
"Then, he must resolve a couple of decisive knots such as the contract renewals of Maignan and Theo Hernandez. Speaking of the latter, it was precisely Moncada who said again on the evening of the Coppa Italia derby: ‘We are not that far, we are working.’ Perhaps it would be appropriate to involve the next sporting director as well in this negotiation. Who must then answer a fundamental question: if Theo is the one from the latest matches, well, there is no discussion about the convenience of the renewal. If instead he were the one from the first months of the season, then the evaluation would be different. And who, if not the next coach, can resolve this question?," as relayed via Milannews.it.
One last reflection on the AC Milan sporting director topic...
"If Tare, free and able to relocate... yesterday in Milan, is still not under contract after a couple of meetings, the explanation is one and one only: they are waiting for someone who is currently engaged to become free. And again: by waiting for 'Prince Charming', isn’t there the risk of missing some trains?"
