In the culture of Italy, everyone is focused on the result, even the youth coaches want to win. So if they want to win, they also want to field players who are ready, but then the players with potential won't get any playing time. We have taken this out of Milan, changing the philosophy completely.
The mistakes of the 2024-25 season have been analysed. Zlatan Ibrahimović's decision to initially entrust the project to Jovan Kirovski seemed risky, given that he lacks knowledge and experience of the Italian lower levels. However, the internal assessment has changed: the director has studied the situation, adapted and should remain thanks to a renewal clause.
The Milan Futuro project is all about developing players for the future, and the one turning heads at the moment is Lorenzo Ossola. As Calciomercato.com point out, 13 points separate Milan Futuro from the team that are top of their group in Serie D. The aim is to return to the third tier as soon as possible, but the real mission is to lay the foundations for developing the youth academy.
