"Milan have felt the lack of a figure capable of acting with authority and vision in the role of sporting director for years. With the arrival of Igli Tare, the Rossoneri have director who knows his way around Italian football and is not afraid to make unpopular but strategic decisions."
"The incoming operations however were a different story, leading to friction between the Albanian sporting director and the CEO Giorgio Furlani. The length of the negotiations for Ardon Jashari and the sum spent to acquire him from Club Brugge (almost €40m with bonuses), as well as the sums spent on Christopher Nkunku and Pervis Estupinan, were not particularly appreciated by Furlani."
"It will not be a dual CEO structure, but rather a division of areas and responsibilities, with Calvelli representing a key liaison between the club and the ownership."
Milan appointed Igli Tare as sporting director to fill a long-standing gap in leadership and strategic vision. Tare has demonstrated clear authority in managing the club's financial and technical assets, achieving success in the outgoing transfer market that compensated for lost Champions League revenue. However, tensions emerged with CEO Giorgio Furlani over incoming transfers, particularly regarding the expensive acquisitions of Ardon Jashari from Club Brugge (nearly €40m with bonuses), Christopher Nkunku, and Pervis Estupinan. Despite these frictions, no management revolution occurred. Elliott's representatives left the board following a refinancing deal, while Furlani's contract was renewed through 2028. Massimo Calvelli joined as a board member to support Furlani, creating a division of responsibilities rather than a dual CEO structure. Tare's position will be reassessed at season's end.
