You know that feeling you get when you are about to make an important decision, but you keep thinking, “What if instead…?” Here, in the Milan household there is exactly this climate. A suspended, almost sliding door moment. The season is not yet over, but thoughts are already projected elsewhere. To the future, of course. And what a future.
Because if one thing is clear, it is that a real revolution is being prepared at Milanello. Not only on the field, but also behind the scenes. It will be a summer of strong choices, destined to change the face of a team that wants to become a protagonist again. And the first step can only be to choose who will command operations.
The casting for Milan’s new sporting director has been open for weeks, with a waltz of names chasing and outdoing each other. First Fabio Paratici, then Andrea Berta, and then again that Igli Tare who seemed to be the chosen one, thanks to the strong push from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had taken it upon himself to play an increasingly active role in the construction of the new Milan.
Then, as often happens, the situation became complicated. Giorgio Furlani, CEO, took over again, and the cards were shuffled again. Paratici’s name is hot again, of course, but there is another profile that tantalises the Rossoneri management’s palate quite a bit: Tony D’Amico.
D’Amico, for those who had not followed his path, is the man who helped make Atalanta the perfect machine we know today. A mix of intuition, capillary scouting and bold ideas. In short, a man who understands revolutions.

The name that makes many fans’ hearts flutter, however, is another: Massimiliano Allegri. For some it is just a dream, for others a real possibility. Certainly, the thought of seeing Allegri leading Milan again gives goosebumps to those who still remember the 2011 Scudetto. And even in management the idea appeals: Allegri is a capable, pragmatic coach, someone who knows how to win and has always maintained a strong bond with the Milan environment.

But bringing him back to Milan is no simple affair. Max demands a solid project, technical guarantees, targeted investment. In short, he wants the certainty that he can aim to win immediately. Not only the Europa League, if it will be Europa League, but also a league that is becoming increasingly competitive.
What if the Allegri operation were to blow up? This is precisely where the possible arrival of Tony D’Amico comes in. Because the bond between D’Amico and Gian Piero Gasperini is close, solid, built during their golden years together in Bergamo. And some are betting that if D’Amico were to become the new Rossoneri DS, he would push hard to bring Gasp along as well.
Gasperini is a divisive coach, to be sure, but one who has shown he can build teams capable of expressing spectacular and, above all, sustainable soccer. His model of play, made up of pressing, courage, and the enhancement of youth, could intrigue a club that wants to relaunch itself without losing its economic compass.
Imagining a Gasperini-branded Milan is not that crazy. And if the choice fell on him, it would also make logical sense: who better than someone who has already written a fairy tale together with his trusted sporting director? Other names remain in the background: from Italiano to De Zerbi via the dream Antonio Conte. These are days of waiting, for the coach but not only: the Milan of the future is being decided, starting with the sporting director.
