Over the past few weeks, there has been plenty said about the power structure within Milan. Zlatan Ibrahimovic seemingly played a large part in the decision made by Ralf Rangnick to not join Milan and there has been plenty said about the relationship between Cardinale and him.
Now, it seems that they are still on good terms. However, Cardinale appears to have made a decision moving forward.
Cardinale in complete control
According to this morning’s edition of CorSera, as MilanNews relayed, the American has now decided that he will be ‘alone in command’. Decisions will be made by the American and the American alone, but he will consult those around him.
There will be ‘senior advisors’ to help, and Ibrahimovic will sit in this role as a ‘consultant’, but the final calls will be made by the American. Of course, this doesn’t mean that he will go out and make decisions without any help.
Whether there will be different layers of consultations, perhaps from Markus Krösche, the expected arrival to become the Head of Football, remains to be seen.
However, it would appear that the process has become more streamlined after the difficulty of recent weeks.
