AC Milan are close to being able to announce Igli Tare as their new sporting director, and some information on his deal has surfaced.
Many of you will remember how Tare was initially believed to be close to joining Milan last month after two meetings with CEO Giorgio Furlani. Things then went quiet, but now the accelerator seems to have been pushed by the Rossoneri leadership.
While waiting for news on who the head coach might be – with reports stating Bologna’s Vincenzo Italiano is the frontrunner – we do know a bit more about Tare’s Milan contract.
Tare to Milan: Contract details
The reliable Matteo Moretto has confirmed that Tare will be the new sporting director of Milan as a verbal agreement has been reached over the terms of what will be a multi-year contract.
The Albanian is ready to sign a three-year contract – two of which are guaranteed, and the other an option. He will earn around €800k net per season in salary, Moretto adds.
Milan will be hoping that Tare can repeat some of his most successful coups for Lazio, which include the likes of Miroslav Klose and Felipe Anderson from years back to Ciro Immobile and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic more recently.
Just watched a video of tonali’s winning goal against Lazio, Maldini, massara, and gazidis running into th pitch after the final whistle tk hug the team, hug pioli. And I ask myself… How did we get here 3 years later? Were we perfect? Absolutely not. But we had something special. We had fire within us and a real team and family atmosphere and fast forward to present day it’s almost unrecognizable. All we had to do was add a few pieces to the puzzle to make us a top consistent team and we threw it all away.
It’s been a painful season, I don’t think over the couple of years, the transfers have not allowed the us to push forward, because of quantity over quality, we have been fortunate with Tiju and Pulisic, but we would all rather have 1 excellent player at €40-50m then 2 bang average players players for €20/25m.
If we can retain our squad and add Ricci and JDavid, we would be a balanced team and in the right hands achieve a lot.
But if we go chopping and changing we will get no where, maybe Tara will concentrate more on what we have and how we can move forward rather than take us back to year dot
Yeah I get why this happened, I’m sorry but the truth is Maldini as an SD was mid, Maldini as a leader of men top notch. Can’t think of anyone better. Ironically enough I actually think Fulani and Maldini complemented each other very well: one an excellent negotiator the other not. One a world class leader the other not so much
Man.Was it that game where Ricky Massara was recorded in tears and deep reflection by himself in the stands after everyone had exited? That instantly endeared him to us as it showed just how much he was affected by the roller coaster season and his all in attitude towards Milan! Anyway, good times. How that was deconstructed so fast and how fleeting that period of greatness was is what cuts deepest.
