Milan, salta Paratici ed è caos: come cambia la strategia per il tecnico (Ansa Foto) – SerieAnews
Milan is going through a phase of great uncertainty, with changes that could affect not only the team’s technical management, but also its management structure. After a long and complex negotiation, the deal with Fabio Paratici, who was supposed to become the new sporting director, suddenly fell through. But what really happened and what are the possible reasons behind this decision?
Il caso Paratici: cosa è successo e perché è saltato
Negotiations with Fabio Paratici seemed to be on the home stretch: the executive was one step away from becoming Milan’s new sporting director. The club’s lawyers had already been involved in drafting the contract and the exit clauses, linked to the Prism Process, were almost ready.

However, something went wrong. The Rossoneri club decided to take a pause for reflection, at which point the deal with Paratici fell through. The reasons behind this reconsideration seem to be related both to Paratici’s limited operations and to reputational issues, which worried some members of the Rossoneri ownership.
These doubts, which had been raised before, eventually led to a surprising decision, but one that cannot be considered entirely unexpected given the context. With Paratici out of the picture, Milan must now choose a new sporting director quickly.
Tare in corsa, ma non solo: chi potrebbe essere il prossimo ds del Milan?
With Paratici’s exit from the scene, Milan is now looking for a new sporting director. One of the strongest candidates is Igli Tare, former Lazio’s DS, who has shown over the years a great ability to develop young talent and build competitive teams.
Tare is also the man proposed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has indicated him as the ideal figure to strengthen the Rossoneri’s corporate structure. According to rumors, the understanding between the two has already been found informally, and Tare’s arrival could further solidify Ibrahimovic’s position within Milan.

But it is not only Tare who is in the running. There are also other prominent names that could come to Milan. Tony D’Amico, currently ds of Atalanta, is one of the names most liked by the Rossoneri management. Another name circulating is that of Giovanni Sartori, a sporting director who has worked wonders with Chievo, Atalanta, and now with Bologna.
Sartori could also bring with him a valuable coach like Vincenzo Italiano, who could be an interesting solution for the Rossoneri bench. Finally, there is also the possibility that Giuseppe Manna, current Napoli’s DS, could enter the Rossoneri club’s sights, although the track that would bring him to Milan could prove the most complicated to pursue.
Il caos allenatore: le possibili opzioni per il futuro tecnico del Milan
If the future of the sporting director is still uncertain, that of the coach is no less so. President Paolo Scaroni recently confirmed Sérgio Conceição as a possible future coach of AC Milan, but this seems to be more of a facade statement than a real definitive choice. Despite the president’s words, the truth is that Milan has decided to change coach.
Until recently, the favorite for the Rossoneri bench was Roberto De Zerbi, who had received the full support of Fabio Paratici. However, with the change of direction in management, this track may be cooling down. At the moment, Milan seems to be aiming for a coach with more international experience.
Antonio Conte is certainly one of the hottest names, but his contract situation with Napoli, where he is bound until 2027, complicates his possible arrival. Another name that is circulating is Massimiliano Allegri, who could return to Milan, where he moreover won a Scudetto.
Another coach who could enter the Rossoneri’s sights is Gian Piero Gasperini, especially if the new DS should be Tony D’Amico, who worked with him at Atalanta. A surprise move for Maurizio Sarri, who, though highly regarded in Italy, has yet to find a permanent home, cannot be ruled out either.
Finally, if Milan wanted to make a bolder choice, it could also go for a foreign coach, but this scenario still seems to be far from reality. Milan is going through a period of great uncertainty, with management trying to find the right formula for the future. The Rossoneri club will have to make quick decisions to ensure a successful transition and return to competing at the highest level.
