Milan wastes no time: Holy Week brings with it a decisive acceleration for the club’s future. CEO Giorgio Furlani is ready to meet Igli Tare, the man chosen to become the new sporting director. And that’s not all: Tare would already have the next coach in mind.
A project that smells of ambition, to rebuild a winning Milan, capable of becoming great again in Italy and Europe. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports this, with the coming days shaping up to be very hot for the Rossoneri.
To say that Igli Tare knows Italian soccer is like saying it rains in Milan in autumn. A truism that belies a history of success. Albanian by birth but Italian by adoption, Tare spent eighteen years at Lazio, three as a player, fifteen as sporting director. On his trophy cabinet? Three Italian Cups and three Italian Super Cups.
A résumé that speaks for itself and convinced AC Milan to bet on him for the role of AC Milan’s new sporting director. But what makes Tare so special? His ability to work as part of a team, forged years of confrontation with volcanic president Lotito, fits perfectly with the Rossoneri’s philosophy of “working as a team.”

At AC Milan, Tare will not be alone. Geoffrey Moncada will stay on as technical director, perhaps in a more sidelined role, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic will continue to lend his touch as super consultant. And then there is Furlani, the man of final decisions, who received the green light from Gerry Cardinale after a summit in New York.

The first meeting with Tare, in London a month and a half ago, was a success. Now, in Milan, the foundations will be laid for a relationship that could change the face of the club. Among the candidates evaluated (from Paratici to Sartori, passing by international names such as Thiago Scuro), Tare stands out for a not insignificant detail: he is the only one without a contract, ready to dive immediately into the Rossoneri adventure and without bureaucratic cases hanging over his name.
If Milan is an open building site, the bench is the first brick to be laid. And this is where Massimiliano Allegri, Tare’s big favorite to lead Milan, comes in. The current coach, Sergio Conceição, will not stay, even in the event of a European comeback: a contractual clause allows both parties to say goodbye before 2026.
And Allegri? He is the perfect man for the Milan of the future. Italian, winning, experienced: the identikit is sewn on him. At Milanello, Max is at home. Four years, 178 benches, 91 victories and a Scudetto that still shines in the fans’ memory.
Free after his time at Juventus, Allegri is pawing to get back on track. And Milan, after an up-and-down season, needs his infectious enthusiasm. This is not the first time his name has circulated in Via Aldo Rossi; already in the past, the Rossoneri sirens had sounded for him.
Now, with Tare ready to bet on his charisma, Allegri’s return to the San Siro seems closer than ever. And giving a hint was Claudio Ranieri, who said with a smile after the Roman derby, “If Max finds a team in Italy, who knows, maybe we will see him again soon.” A signal? Fans are hoping for it.
