AC Milan’s future is being placed under Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s control, with a planned leadership revolution following failure to qualify for the Champions League. Ibrahimovic previously advised owner Gerry Cardinale to fire sporting director Igli Tare, coach Massimiliano Allegri, CEO Giorgio Furlani, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada. The overhaul is framed as a return to Ibrahimovic’s influence after a year of limited public presence. Recent face-to-face meetings with sporting directors and calls with foreign CEOs aim to bring managers from foreign leagues and accelerate Milan’s globalization. Direct talks are underway with potential candidates for CEO and sporting director roles, including Ian Ayre from MLS and Michael Edwards from Liverpool.
"“it's 'all in Ibrahimovic's hands'. It was he who will lead the revolution at Milan, which began when he advised owner Gerry Cardinale to immediately fire sporting director Igli Tare, coach Massimiliano Allegri, CEO Giorgio Furlani and technical director Geoffrey Moncada.”"
"“Failure to qualify for the Champions League was decisive, but the idea of a true overhaul had already been in the works for a few weeks. With this move, the Swede has forcefully returned to the helm after a year in which he was present very little, at least publicly.”"
"“Over the past 48 hours, there have been face-to-face meetings with several sporting directors and a series of calls with foreign CEOs. The general trend is to take managers from foreign leagues, to accelerate the globalisation process of Milan that Cardinale has had in mind for some time.”"
"“In the past few hours, direct talks have been held with potential candidates for the positions available. Both Ibra and Calvelli are looking for a CEO and a sporting director to join their ranks. Ian Ayre, a former Liverpool manager now at Nashville in the MLS, has been considered for the former.”"
