The Rossoneri’s sporting director is at risk for next season. D’Amico, leaving Atalanta, is the hot name to replace him. If Allegri leaves, keep an eye on Italiano.
A new revolution at Milan? Fans hope for one, potentially involving CEO Giorgio Furlani, given the petition for his resignation and the protest planned before the decisive match against Atalanta for a Champions League spot. However, the figure most at risk once again is sporting director Igli Tare, whose position for the next season is far from certain.
A Rekindled Flame
Currently, the objective is qualification for the next Champions League, as finishing in the top four is crucial for Milan’s immediate future. Once achieved, the fate of the Albanian executive will be discussed. Despite having a contract until 2027, his position is not as stable. This is due to a rekindled interest between the club, specifically Furlani, and Tony D’Amico, the current Atalanta executive, who was already linked to the club last summer during the search for a new sporting director.
Furlani’s Interest, Roma Also In Play
D’Amico’s work at Bergamo is nearing its end, with Atalanta poised to announce Cristiano Giuntoli’s arrival in their management. The former Verona executive feels ready to make the leap to a top club, with Milan at the top of his expectations. However, Roma remains a strong contender, especially with Gian Piero Gasperini there. D’Amico, whose contract with Atalanta runs until 2027, is highly regarded by Furlani, making him one of the most credible candidates if there’s a management shake-up. The Nerazzurri’s sporting director will be at San Siro tomorrow evening for the league match against Milan, and this could be an opportunity for new contact between the parties.
Keep an Eye on Italiano
This would represent another significant change at the top, a shake-up that wouldn’t just involve management but also the technical leadership. With D’Amico’s arrival, Milan might consider Vincenzo Italiano as the coach, replacing Massimiliano Allegri. The Tuscan coach, despite a contract until 2027 that would automatically renew until 2028 in case of Champions League qualification, would be a solution for the national team, despite denials and his desire to stay long-term at Milan, as confirmed in a press conference today. Italiano, after two years at Bologna, is not certain of remaining and would gladly consider a move to Milan.
