Milan seeks elite director to bolster future management structure
Summary

Milan continues to evaluate candidates for a high-profile director role despite opting for internal promotions earlier this summer. Ownership previously ousted CEO Giorgio Furlani and director Igli Tare, leaving the club to operate without a designated head of football. Gerry Cardinale remains actively involved in transfer decisions alongside Ruben Amorim, overseeing larger investments and accelerated negotiations. The club previously targeted Eintracht Frankfurt’s Markus Krosche but failed to secure his services in time for the recent transfer window. Future hiring efforts will focus on a collaborative addition rather than an executive with broad, unilateral authority. Management remains proactive as Cardinale balances club duties with his broader business portfolio.
