The Milan chaos seems to have no end. Yet another corporate revolution is on the horizon, with Gerry Cardinale called upon to redesign the club’s future at a very delicate moment. In the background remains qualification for the next Champions League, which has now become decisive not only for the sporting season, but also for freedom of movement in the transfer market and for internal stability, as told via Milan News.
The collapse has reopened all the cracks
The vertical collapse of Massimiliano Allegri’s team in this second part of the season has reopened cracks that only seemed hidden by the results. After the derby victory on March 8, Milan appeared to be in full control of the race for Champions League qualification. Today, however, they risk throwing it all away, just two corners from the finish line. And so tensions, complicated relationships, and widespread responsibilities are resurfacing. Allegri, Tare, and Furlani are no longer certain of their futures, with the sporting director in fact already sure to depart. The coach had masked many weaknesses with the team’s performances, but once the results dried up, the system once again revealed all its instability. From Elliott to RedBird, Milan has changed too many top-level figures and found very little continuity, something that, in football, is essential.
London Summit: Cardinale studies the new chain of command
The London summit the other day between Cardinale, Furlani, Ibrahimovic, and Calvelli can be interpreted exactly in this light: the Milan owner wants to get more decisively involved in the life of the club. Tare’s departure is now decided, while the futures of Allegri and especially Giorgio Furlani remain to be determined. The CEO is under fire from the fans and is hanging in the balance, but he is not yet out of the picture, also because he is reportedly already thinking about the future and considering Tony D’Amico as a possible new sporting director. Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, is pushing to gain more power in the technical area alongside Moncada. But if Furlani stays, would he accept a reduction in his role? Milan is therefore once again at a crossroads: change everything and start over, or continue to drift in chaos.
