Gerry Cardinale has begun a full overhaul of AC Milan’s management, marking a new era with direct involvement from today. The changes are intended to replace a structure that failed to operate in unison, where the CEO, sporting director, and coach align effectively. Giorgio Furlani was sacked for not building a collaborative system. The club now prioritizes designing a disciplined organization in which each role works with the others. Missing top-four results are cited as leaving no alternative. A return of Paolo Maldini is not expected, and Adriano Galliani is almost certain to be involved.
"AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale has decided to perform a full overhaul of the club's management, with Monday being a monumental day. La Gazzetta dello Sport describes today as 'day one of year zero'. Milan are undergoing yet another revolution, but the first under the full direction of Cardinale. After a sleepless night, Milan's owner has decided to clean house."
"From today onwards he will be directly involved with Milan, and the statement sent a few hours ago marks the beginning of a new era. His learning curve, so to speak, is over. Cardinale has already begun the work that will lead to a new CEO, head coach and sporting director."
"This is the key point: redesigning the organisation so that it is a mechanism that works in unison, where the CEO, sporting director, and coach are in sync. This is what didn't happen this year and this is what most annoyed the owner. More than the names, what's important now is building the structure, designing a disciplined one where each role works with the others."
"Spoiler alert: the coach could be foreign, and he'll have to play an attacking style. Like Cesc Fabregas, for example, much less like Antonio Conte. No more 3-5-2, no more defensive football. In truth, Cardinale would have made many changes even before, but missing top four leaves no other choice."
