Igli Tare will be Milan’s new sporting director. After months of searching, and collecting no’s, Giorgio Furlani is back to square one. The former Lazio man was in fact Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s choice, with Cardinale’s approval, before the CEO’s trip to the United States to meet with the owner. An important graft for a club with big gaps from a technical point of view: Tare is a prepared, competent and experienced executive, but the problem is the Rossoneri’s corporate structure that risks limiting his range of action and impact.
The agreement was reached within a very short time: three-year contract (two guaranteed) at €800,000 per season. He will sign soon so as to start summer planning as soon as possible. The most important choice is the one concerning the new coach: Sergio Conceicao has little chance of staying after losing the Coppa Italia final, the fans want an Italian profile and point to Allegri, but in Tare’s head the first goal is another.

With Tare as sporting director, it is hard to imagine Maurizio Sarri arriving at AC Milan: the two did not have a good relationship at Lazio and this is said to have been the reason for the Albanian’s farewell to the biancoceleste after ten years. Massimiliano Allegri has high costs and seems to be in talks with other teams, while Antonio Conte, should he leave Napoli, is ready to return to Juventus. De Zerbi, on the other hand, has announced that he does not want to move from Marseille.

That leaves few options if the idea is to get an Italian coach. And by the way: according to early rumors, Tare’s first choice for the bench is … Vincenzo Italiano. The Bologna coach, who beat AC Milan in the Coppa Italia final and brought home his first career trophy (after three finals lost with Fiorentina), is at the top of the new sporting director’s thoughts.
Proactive play, results, personality and a great spirit of belonging: Italiano is undoubtedly a good choice for Milan right now, but he will need all the support he can get from the club, including in the market. Bologna does not want to lose him and will soon meet him to offer him a contract renewal until 2027 and avoid a Thiago Motta bis.
