Without a managerial structure, it appears AC Milan may fall behind at all levels, even when recruiting youngsters.
It is damaging not to have a managerial structure in place and everyone around Milan knows that. However, there is no rush to get people through the door. Instead, it appears that the plan is to remain calm and ensure the right people arrive.

This, perhaps, is why there is no push for several candidates on the managerial and technical director side of things, as there has been previously.
Futuro miss out on potential star
Despite this serene feeling internally, though, there are a few issues with this approach, as has been seen in the mercato.
As Fabrizio Romano, via MilanVibes, reports, the Rossoneri have lost out on promising talent Ljubo Puljic to Atalanta. Indeed, La Dea are reportedly set to win the battle to bring the 19-year-old Croatian from Bayern Munich to Italy.
Having captained the Bavarian’s Under-19 side and impressed in the Croatian league, he is ready to make the next step. In fact, he is likely to be ingrained into the Bergamese outfit’s Serie C project.
Whilst there is a structure in place to recruit for the Futuro, it appears that the lack of a top management system could’ve hurt the club already.
I would rather wait and pick the RIGHT coach and have a PROPER plan this time then go for the first yeas coach and take the most available players.
