After failing to secure the arrival of Markus Krösche of Eintracht Frankfurt, Milan’s pursuit of a new director is still ongoing. Various names were mentioned in Gazzetta dello Sport, such as the previous target Devin Özek.
It’s clear that Milan were banking on Krösche’s arrival, meeting with him several times in the last few days, but now more time will be needed to recalibrate themselves. In truth, though, we are talking about time that they don’t have.
Unexpected promotion on the cards?
In today’s edition of Corriere della Sera, as transcribed by Francesco Nasato, some updates were provided on the situation. Among other things, it was mentioned that Ibrahimovic might be tempted to promote Kirovski, the current Mlam Futuro director.
“It remains to be seen now whether old candidates like Özek or Planes will come back into fashion, a new one like Josè Boto of Flamengo, or whether the temptation of Ibrahimovic to promote his friend Kirovski will make its way through,” it reads in the paper.
Kirosvski enrolled in a sporting director course earlier this year but he’s not done yet, so on paper, he can’t hold that role. He can become the technical director, though it seems like an unlikely outcome.
